Description-en: OPL3 SoundFont that simulates the sound of an OPL3 chip
This package provides a soundfont (sf2) that can be used by FluidSynth,
Timidity and WildMidi to play MIDI (and MIDI-like files) using the samples
created by the OPL3 (SB16/YM262) chip. This also allows applications like
DOSBox, ZDoom and others to play back MIDI without having to emulate the
OPL3, which can be costly in terms of CPU usage to emulate accurately.
.
This package will be installed into /usr/share/sounds/sf2/.
