 ===== Using Soundfont with Synths and Samplers =====
-Soundfonts require a player, just like samples need samplers. The default soundfont player on Linux is [[synths#fluidsynth|Fluidsynth]], which comes packaged as Fluidsynth-DSSI, QSynth, as a plugin within [[lmms|LMMS]], and in very recent editions of [[linuxsampler|Linux Sampler]].
+Soundfonts require a player, just like samples need samplers. The most common plugin Soundfont trigger is Fluidsynth-DSSI, while the most common stand-alone trigger is QSynth; both of which are frontends for [[synths#fluidsynth|Fluidsynth]].
+Fluidsynth is also bundled as a plugin along with [[lmms|LMMS]].
+If your workflow revolves around it, and you aren't afraid to do some code compiling, the recent editions of [[sampler|Linux Sampler]] can trigger not only ''GIG'' samples, but ''sf2'' and ''sfz'' Soundfont files as well.
+===== Editing Soundfonts =====
+Slackermedia does not support either of these applications solely due to inexperience with them, but for the brave artist technicians who want to try it, you can edit and create Soundfont banks:
+  * [[http://www.polyphone.fr/index.php?lang=en&page=download]]
+  * [[http://www.swamiproject.org/documentation/installation/]]
+If you make any, remember to [[http://creativecommons.org|license them]]!
