I'm finally showcasing my new Roland RD-1000 soundfont! And I figured TTC's Only My Railgun 189K would be a great way to do it! I found the MIDI in one of the many folders inside a several gigabyte compressed file of MIDIs called The Nuker Series ZIP 4, which can be found on Internet Archive. Huge thanks to whoever made and uploaded that file! As for the soundfont, it's not just another edited version of an already existing soundfont like Piano Roland RD-1000 v2. Instead, my Roland RD-1000 soundfont uses an entirely new set of samples that I recorded from the "RD-1000" patch of Roland's JV-1080 VST. I was heavily inspired by both Güray Dere's Roland RD-1000 soundfont and Carlos S. M.'s edited version of it, Piano Roland RD-1000 v2, when making the presets for mine. If you've heard what those soundfonts sound like, then my soundfont should sound similar. I was originally going to have presets with velocity layers, but I scrapped those because I didn't think they would be suitable for black MIDIs. The only filtration that's present is the filtration in the piano samples themselves. I recorded almost every sample in minor thirds (one sample for every three keys), but when I recorded them I didn't take into account that the piano portion of the RD-1000 patch has specific key ranges for various samples. I didn't want to re-record anything, so I just changed the key ranges accordingly to match the sound of the original patch. It's not ideal from a technical standpoint, but it is what it is. I also could've done a slightly better job at trimming the recordings, because many of them have one or two samples (points of audio data) that have no audio or are much quieter than the rest. When I recorded the samples, I recorded everything as a 32-bit float WAV file. And for some reason, when using 32-bit sample data, Roland VSTs (or at least the ones I've used) will produce a very low level noise - well below what can be captured with even a 24-bit bit depth. Because of this, I had to manually trim each recording (I think it was my first time doing this), and I trimmed all of them right before/when the volume started to ramp up at the beginning of the keypress for each recording. All of the recordings were amplified to 0 dB and converted to 24-bit FLAC files for the soundfont (don't worry, I had Tenacity apply shaped dither when reducing the bit depth). But because a VERY tiny portion (a fraction of a millisecond) of the audio at the beginning of the piano samples was still below what can be captured with a 24-bit bit depth, that audio was either increased in volume or turned into silence. Does any of that really matter? Probably not. But I wanted to share it anyway, for transparency. As always, feel free to make edits to this soundfont if you don't like how it sounds and/or if you want to improve it! And if for some reason you want the original raw recordings to trim yourself, I can provide them in WavPack format (it's a codec that's capable of losslessly compressing 32-bit float WAV files). Otherwise, enjoy the soundfont as is!
