Adding Soundfonts¶

Adding soundfonts is pretty simple in OmniMIDI. Typically, soundfonts come in 2 different formats: sfz and sf2. sfz format soundfonts come with a "samples" folder and must be included with the sfz. sf2 is one file only and does not need this extra folder. Both accomplish the same thing but in different ways.

Help! I have no soundfonts!

If you have no soundfonts available, you are free to Google soundfonts and use those. Although not recommended as some soundfonts do not pair well with Black MIDIs. Instead, you can use our list of recommended soundfonts to find yourself a good soundfont to use! Other resources will include Black MIDI Community Discord servers.

After installing OmniMIDI and opening the configurator, click the + in the configurator window.
