I am looking for a synthesizer that I can use with javax.sound.midi classes which allows me to use soundbank formats other than one by Beatnik. I could not find one and a 6 years old information tells me that there are none available. However I wonder if new projects have come up since.
I have asked a related question with a different approach to playing my own samples according to a midi sequence generated by a sequencer in java, but to no avail.
In Java 7 sf2-soundbanks can be loaded via the class SF2Soundbank which worked fine.
