 ==== SoundFonts ====
-SoundFonts provide you different instrument sounds like VST, but unlike VST they are not sythesized, they are a collection of PCM samples.
+SoundFonts (''.sf2'') provide you different instrument sounds like VST, but unlike VST they are not sythesized, they are a collection of PCM samples. Soundfonts are easier to use than VST but can take up a lot of space since they are real audio samples.
+There are some free Soundfonts on [[https://sites.google.com/site/soundfonts4u/]] that include some great pianos, guitars, violins, flutes, etc. Download the ''.sf2'' file.
+To use the Soundfonts in LMMS, use the ''Sf2 Player'' instrument and then open its options. Select the ''File'' and pick the ''.sf2'' file. Then choose the ''Patch'' which is the specific instrument. There may also be multiple ''Bank'' each with a set of patches. Some Soundfont files come with dozens of instrument patches so you can download one ''.sf2'' file and have a ton of instruments available from it.
