Reduce bandwidth
Over 10x lossy compression from SF2 to SF3.
Problem
Large SoundFont2 files use bandwidth and loads slowly, especially quality ones like salamander.sf2
Solution
SoundFont3, by MuseScore, can achieve over 10x compression with OGG VORBIS.
Now you can reduce egress costs and improve user experience with speedy SoundFont download speeds.
If only we had JavaScript/TypeSscript SoundFont3 parser...
The original parser, created by Mrtenz, adheres to the SoundFont 2.01 specification, with the goal of achieving compliance with SoundFont 2.04. This fork is focuses on a different goal - parsing SoundFont3.
This library is not production ready, hence the version 0.x.x. Some SoundFonts may be parsed incorrectly and the API may have breaking changes in the future. The first production release 1.0.0 and beyond will follow semantic versioning.
