Smurf

If you're looking for a sound font editor that works seamlessly on Linux and other *nix operating systems, you might want to consider the Smurf Sound Font Editor. This editor is based on the Soundfont standard which is widely used for composing MIDI music with digital audio "samples" and various parameters.

One of the advantages of Soundfont is its flexibility, which allows for the creation of instrument sounds from audio samples or wavetable synthesis. This means it can be supported by hardware like sound cards and studio equipment, as well as software.

To access this project, you can go to the Smurf project page hosted on SourceForge, where you'll find links to different services. For example, Project Central is the summary page for Smurf project.

In the latest release of Smurf Sound Font Editor, several issues were fixed, including sequencer support for the latest ALSA CVS. Additionally, a command line sound font file open feature was added based on user requests, and a bug with the AWE wavetable driver's blank device file name was resolved.

Overall, Smurf Sound Font Editor is a handy tool for anyone looking to work with Soundfont-based music on Linux and related operating systems.
