There are also some Mellotron & it's antecedents sf2 files out there ( I bought mine) that allow the features like the foxtrot and a lead saxaphone to be played in single finger fashion....

If you do wish to get creative with SF2 files then you will arrive very quickly at Polyphone.
This is a truly wonderful tool for preparing and treating audio samples for use in sound fonts.
It used to be a bit of a pain to load on a Pi but there is a package in the Pi package manager for it now. There are MAC, Windows versions available from the Download page. Can't recommend this highly enough. Fantastic for soundscape work...
