1 Fluidsynth

a real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications.

Fluidsynth webpage

One of zynthian's primary instrument weapons. It handles sf2 sample files which can contain a range of samples.

Pianos, organs, strings, harpsichords, marimbas, guitars, bass

So you have access to the many sf2 files that are out there providing ranges of samples to impersonate almost any instrument one could model from a western 12 note scale!

Most people will simply load up the appropriate files and use them exactly as is and the zynthian parameters

For instance I have 8 church bells in a sf2 file allocated to the keys of the F major scale which plays the appropriate sound when pressed.
