Compact GM / GMGS (smaller version of Apollo GMGS)
by CaedUploaded on Sep 05, 2023 (and last updated on May 19, 2024)
Compact GMGS is a smaller version of my 4 GB soundfont, Apollo GMGS (which can be found here: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/3181). I managed to reduce the file size by reducing amount of samples per key, reducing velocity layers, reducing the length of loops, etc. The GM/GS version of this soundfont is 1.62 GB, and the general MIDI-only version of this soundfont is 1.36 GB. The same policies from Apollo GMGS apply to this version of this soundfont.

I took many feedback and such into consideration for this version of this soundfont, and make adjustments based on that to make this soundfont better than the previous versions.
