Welcome to E-mu Systems, Inc. General MIDI CD-ROM.

Congratulations on your decision to use the download-able sampled sounds found
on this SoundFont(R) Library CD-ROM. 

We've included 5 General MIDI compatible SoundFont banks in SoundFont 2.0 file
formats on the General MIDI SoundFont Library. All of these banks will load
into a SoundFont 2.0 comaptible sound card (such as Creative Labs Sound
Blaster AWE32) with an appropriate amount of Sound RAM installed. These banks
are actually collections of instruments compiled to be General MIDI compatible
banks. 


Descriptions:

8mbgm.sf2		- 8 megabyte bank includes 128 presets and 8 drum sets.
8mbgmsfx.sf2		- 8 megabyte bank includes 128 presets, 8 drum 	sets,
			  and 1 sound effects map.

All banks require SoundFont 2.0 compatible drivers. If you don't already have
SoundFont 2.0 drivers, they can be found on the E-mu SoundFont home page at
http://www.creaf.com/emu/. This page will have hyperlinks to the latest driver
versions for all sound boards which are SoundFont 2.0 compatible. Locate and
download the appropriate drivers. For proper installation, follow the
instructions provided with the drivers or consult your sound card owners
manual or the technical support department of your sound card manufacturer.
