Polyphone Software has released Polyphone, a free and open source SoundFont editor for Windows and Linux.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
Polyphone is a free software for editing soundfonts in format sf2. These files contain a multitude of audio samples put together and configured so as to form musical instruments that can be used by synthesizers such as fluidsynth and played using a MIDI keyboard.
The goal of Polyphone is to provide: a simple and efficient interface for creating and editing .sf2 files, available on both Linux and Windows; and tools to facilitate and automate the edition of different parameters, making it possible to handle a large amount of data.
Polyphone is available for free download via the Polyphone site (7.1MB download size, 32-bit & 64-bit standalone application for Windows & Linux).

Just what I was after for tweaking a bunch of programs and samples from my old Akai MPC4000 that I converted to soundfonts.

I like Polyphone! Now if they could only port Viena (one ‘n’) to Linux!
Nice, I’m a Viena user as well, but I’m working on a 64 bit platform these daze, so this app comes in handy. My donation is on it’s way…
wooow.. Thanks
Nice one, but after making my soundfont I try to use it in a mac project and it just doesn’t work, if anyone has a solution please tell me

You can use soundfonts on Linux with the soundfonts synth I built on top of fluidsynth called emap. It’s free oss.
