Changing MIDI Soundfonts?

[ENDove]

Is it possible to change the soundfont for midis in my game? Im a tad bit new to rpg maker. And, will the soundfont file pack itself with my game?

What? I don't know what a sound font is. Can you explain so I can help, please?

I was wondering that myself what Sound Font was looking at this post earlier today, but now I know it's a program involving custom music(?). Assuming your question is figuring out how to plug custom music into your project all you need to do is save the file from whatever option they (i.e. Sound Font) give you and convert it to something probably along the lines of a mp3 or ogg (if they don't give you these options already), and paste that monster into your project's music (i.e. bgm file, also assuming it's not a sound effect and actual music).

edit: By chance if you need to convert anything and you just don't have the tools for it there should be a couple of [reliable] net sources.

Sorry about responding a bit late, but a soundfont is actually a file containing MIDI instruments. As far as I know RPG Maker just uses the default windows one, I was wondering if i could import different ones. If it wont let me I will just do what you said, scarletjon, and convert them to OGG. They are in tons of formats, most commonly *.sf2

I think it does use the Windows one, since I'm using it on Linux, which doesn't have a Midi soundfont and I can't play MIDIs.
