[Freepats] can not save a sf2 file using Swami 0.9.4-1 , why?

[Marcos Guglielmetti]

Hola Josh!
 | I've heard of this problem before, and I'm not sure what causes it.  In
 | the past, users fixed it by building Swami from source instead of using
 | a system package.  Do you have a 64 bit CPU by chance?  This problem
 | should probably be reported to the package maintainer of Swami, but I'm
 | not doing development on the older version at this point, so I haven't
 | gotten around to it.  Let me know if I can help in any way to get things
 | working for you.  Best regards,
 | 	Josh Green
 
Well, at least we have a solution. But for now it's easier for me to just make 
_this_ soundfont again. So I did it ;)


Swami is a good app, just keep the good work please!


A 75mb Steinway Piano Soundfont made with Swami for the Freepats project

There is still a lot of work to do, this is the second Steinway soundfont we 
made.
