1. Executive Summary The Roland MT-32 is not a soundfont in the native Sense (e.g., SoundFont 2.04 .sf2 ). It is a hardware MIDI synthesizer module (1987) using Linear Arithmetic (LA) synthesis . A "Roland MT-32 soundfont" refers to a sampled or converted library that attempts to reproduce MT-32 sounds within a SoundFont-compatible player (e.g., FluidSynth, Sforzando). True MT-32 emulation requires MUNT (Software emulator), not a soundfont.
