I noticed this soundfont doesn't have names for its presets, and my audio software doesn't have the General MIDI instrument names built-in, so I only see "000", "001", "002", etc. This made it difficult to find a specific instrument.

I used a soundfont editor (Viena) to add the instrument names from GM 1, and it worked quite well, except for a few awkward abbreviations due to the character limit. I would have submitted a PR, but I couldn't fetch the original file because GitHub says the LFS quota has been exceeded.

Here is a link to my version: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiaRG6XjM1DBqNt3QoDZJZqis4l1BQ

Thank you for making this soundfont! It's wonderfully nostalgic.

Thank you SO much, Cora! I converted the sfark file I was able to download to sf2 and then was grappling with the lack of instrument names. I'm using LMMS. Your update illuminated the list.

I double checked, indeed the LFS bandwidth quota is exceeded. As of 10 June it is: Using 3.14 of 1 GB/month of bandwidth

So basically only about 10 downloads per months. :(

So either I need to just include the data directly into the repo (not LFS) or just include it as part of the package to download. I'm not sure how which way is best.
