Soundfont

Choose the soundfont used for General MIDI music, listing every compatible .sf2 and .sf3 file found on your device.

A soundfont holds the recorded instruments that a MIDI tune is played back with, so the very same piece of music can sound warm and orchestral through one soundfont and thin and synthetic through another.

Press A to make the highlighted soundfont the one your device uses, or Y to hear a short demonstration tune played through it first.

Soundfont

Each row is a soundfont installed on your device. The one currently in use is marked with a different glyph, and the list opens with it already highlighted.

Quick Tips

  • Alongside the soundfonts that ship with MustardOS, you can add your own by placing them in a MUOS/soundfont folder on any storage. Files kept there are yours and survive updating your device.

  • Previewing loads the whole soundfont before it plays, so the first preview of a large one can take a moment. Press Y again to stop it, and previews always stop when you leave this screen.

  • If no compatible soundfonts are found on your device, this screen will let you know that none are available.
