Statistics ---------- SoundFont Filename: WeedsGM3.sf2 Self-extracting sfArk Archive Filename: WeedsGM3.sfArk.exe Zip Archive Filename: WeedsGM3.zip File Dates and Times: March 1, 2010 3:00a Readme Documentation: WeedsGM3.txt License Agreement Documentation: WeedsGM3.License.txt MIDI Files: None Number of User Samples: 762 Size of User Samples: 54,694,776 bytes Number of ROM Samples: 0 Number of Instruments: 147 Number of Melodic Presets: 128 Number of Percussive Presets: 9 Total SoundFont Filesize: 54,894,076 bytes Installation ------------ To install the SoundFont, simply run "WeedsGM3.sfArk.exe" to extract the SoundFont ("WeedsGM3.sf2") and documentation ("WeedsGM3.txt" and "WeedsGM3.License.txt"). "WeedsGM3.sfArk.exe" is nothing but a simple self-extracting "sfArk" archive, and using the "sfArk" utility to package the files results in much better compression of the included SoundFont and files than when using other archive compression utilities (such as "ACE", "RAR", "ZIP", etc...).
