http://ftp://soundfonts:soundfonts@207.140.1.221/
Come give & take!
At Last!
Man you are the best.
Can you provide however better connection info?
What is the Ip? http://ftp://soundfonts:soundfonts
or 207.140.1.221
because the entry you have given looks more like a email addy.
Port?
L/P or is it Anonymous?
This syntax is for non-anonymous FTP:
http://ftp://user:passwd@address
It is equivalent to this FTP connection:
ftp 207.140.1.221
user: soundfonts
passwd: soundfonts
I want these soundfonts from your ftp server too. But i haven't got a cluse what you lot are talking about - can you tell me how i get onto your ftp site and i'll gladly come and 'give and take'.

Matty,
> can you tell me how i get onto your ftp site
Well, in theory, you should just type
http://ftp://soundfonts:soundfonts@207.140.1.221/
into tyour browser and it should connect you. It doesn't
work for me, but that might have something to do with the
firewall I'm behind.
Doesn't work for me either (no firewall here), I just get the message "Server not responding."
and no luck here either- any chance of an idiot guide......?
and then there was light.....
http://ftp://soundfonts:soundfonts@207.140.1.221/
in address bar gets you there (or it did me anyway)
thanks for a top site- will be adding to it some more....
Didn't work for me.
Try using "GetRight Browser" instead of any ftp client or web browser. It works great with download-only ftp connections.
Hth
It did work for me to find the server but the PW was wrong
USR: soundfonts
PW: soundfonts
Have the PW been changed?
Even in GetRight Browser, it sends me that message (in the bottom of the browser) disconnected from server
You're right. I tried to enter "soundfonts" for username and password as mentioned at the beginning of the thread but it didn't work.
Actually, it was several months ago when I had last logged in and downloaded an amountful of sf's. I have to admit that just a few of them are useful.
http://www.hammersound.net appears to be a better resource except for its "strange" cgi download script which causes GetRight confuse handling the process.

Thanx Ertugrul for the page, I found it very nice, but this question maybe a little late..... how the heck do I use sound fonts?
Artur, your question in the message 13 seems to imply that you don't have a soundcard that supports sound fonts directly. If this is the case, you can still experiment with these using a shareware program called "Audio Compositor" available from http://home.att.net/~audiocompositor/ .
If your is indeed sound-font based (the later Sound Blasters) then you might want to spend some time with the documentation and help files for a rundown on this.
do you know if Awe32 does that?
Yes. A search on Google for "AWE32 soundfonts" turns up lots of results.
If your AWE32 has an expansion slot on the side of the card you can add 30 pin SIMMS in pairs.
2x2Mb, 2x4Mb or 2x16Mb.
A pair of 4Mb SIMMS are the easiest to find and cost less than $10US - with these you can load an 8Mb soundfont.
The cost of a pair of 16Mb SIMMS (if you can find them)is the nearly the cost of an SB Live value card.
So if you want to use soundfonts larger than 8Mb you'd be better off with a new Live card.
Try http://www.hammersound.net and search the Soundfont Collections on the site.
