- A high quality Tonekit for GMPlay1.3. It sounds much better than the original tonekit
- that comes with GMPlay but it's still a little noisy. The tones were originally sampled
- in 16 bit 44kHz and was then quantized to 8 bit 44kHz. I've included some midi-files that
- sound great with the new tones.
-
- The tones are compressed with XPK Shrink to obtain the smallest possible size of the Tonekit.
- The decompression times are acceptable on my 060, but might be a little long on other processors.
- In that case I recomend that you recompress the tones with a less demanding XPK mode.
-
- To install the tones just replace the GMPlay Tones drawer with the Tones in both archives, and
- replace the mapfiles (GM_TONES and XG_TONES) with the mapfiles in the first archive.
-
- I've decided to split the tonekit into two archives to make it easier for modem users to download.
- You must download both archives to use the tonekit as the mapfiles won't work correctly with
- the old tones.

- (Gt. Harmonics and the Banjo are the originals by Christian Sauer since I couldn't find any
- better sounding instruments to sample)
