Soundfonts as alternatives to music packs?

1
AmethystViper (talkcontribs)

I was wondering if we can use soundfonts (.sf2) for downloading music packs for source ports that support their own MIDI playback feature and custom soundfonts? I know that source ports such as GZDoom and PrBoom+ have FluidSynth for MIDI playback and support custom soundfont files, and I've used Patch93's SC-55 soundfont which sounds very close to those MIDI music packs but is much smaller in file size and, from my experience, music playback is seemless whereas using the music packs don't loop correctly and fades out before restarting the track again. The latest version of Patch93's soundfont that I'm aware of can be found here in both compressed and decompressed formats: https://forums.duke4.net/topic/6973-sc-55-soundfont-huge-update/page__view__findpost__p__242988
