Salamander C5 ME Soundfont-version3

In other words: Ugly Baby Lizard

Bonus, Gold and Platinum Patches is included!

Part-1

The Salamander C5 Piano Soundonft is a soundfont that has a graceful sound that everyone knows well.



I have previously published a light version of this soundfont (Salamander C5 Lite v2 - 25MB). Salamander's original format is sFz. (The sFz version is approx.: 1.12 Gigabytes ).


As a result of my work on the Salamander's sample-files and sf2 parameters, I decided to offer you an more enhanced version of this sound bank.

Please Note: Don't worry that the size of this soundfont is relatively small. The sound quality is high due to the advanced techniques used to create this sound-font.

• Since the loop is used in the last parts of the samples, the sample sizes are reduced.
• Samples are 44.1kHz, 16bit quality.
• Although it looks like it is made up of a single layer, thanks to the techniques used, the sound response is at the level of 127 layers!

Please try it!

 Update! (for request) : More Responsive Layers 

Some friends said that the sounds of the previous version (Lite v2) are more varied in dynamics; And  they are right.
In the Lite version, I really wanted the sounds to change more in the dynamics and adjusted them accordingly. In v3 version I used standard soundfont response instead; Apparently this is not enough :)
