[Freepats] Free Yamaha grand piano soundfont

[Marcos Guglielmetti]

just a bug report: If you press the keys for a long time, the sample 
starts to loop from the start

 |
 | 52 samples at 44100Hz, 16bit. Size 45.5MiB.
 |
 | Example music rendered through the soundfont:
 |
 |  - Piano Sonata No. 8, Op. 13, "Pathétique", 1st movement
 |    (Ludwig van Beethoven)
 |

 |
 |  - Für Elise (Ludwig van Beethoven):
 |    http://zenvoid.org/audio/beethoven_fur_elise_20080808.ogg
 |
 | I've added a reverb to those music files in order to please to
 | my friend Aaron ;-)
 |
 | The soundfont is here:
 | http://zenvoid.org/i/audio.html
 |
 | There will be more releases, I will try to improve quality. I'm
 | working in loops (currently there are no loops) and more layers.
 |
 | It is built from the Zenph Studios Yamaha Disklavier Pro Piano
 | Multisamples for OLPC. The OLPC project recently released a
 | collection of samples under CC-BY license; in particular, this
 | multisampled piano is very good.
 |
 | According to Dr. Richard Boulanger, there will be a complete
 | General MIDI soundfont released soon under CC-BY license! It
 | will be probably a small soundfont, optimized for the OLPC
 | project, and good for embeded or normal desktop usage (I think).
 | I hope it could be used as the default General MIDI soundfont in
 | most GNU/Linux distributions. Very good news. Of course, high
 | quality samples will still be wanted for specialized
 | distributions and professional audio composition.
 |
 | A few notes about the reverb:
 |
 | I've added a very nice convolution reverb to the example music
 | with Jconv, using impulse responses from the Promenadikeskus
 | concert hall in Pori, Finland. While doing it, I've noticed the
 | lack of free impulse responses :-(  It has been discussed
 | before in the LAU list; some publicly available IR files are
 | restricted to non-commercial usage or come with very weird
 | conditions. I couldn't found unrestricted, free IR files. AFAIK
 | some of them (either made by individuals or organizations) are
 | not being commercially exploited in any way, so maybe some
 | authors will be willing to relicense under free licenses when
 | contacted... sadly, it seems a common fact of our modern culture
 | to forbid everything by default, without a good reason.
 |
 | If anyone knows about original and free impulse responses
 | (really free, as freedom, and with a known free license or clear
 | license terms attached) please let me know.
