and last but not least, my own software:
WaveGen
A program that creates short waveforms with a controllable amount of harmonics, that can be looped and synthesized in Vienna or a similar program. see .sbk and .sf2 for examples.
For more info, see the WaveGen page.
FM Sound Explorer
This program lets you explore all the parameters of the FM-synth chip on the soundcard, and play with your new sounds. Also handy for programmers. For more info, see the FM Sound Explorer page.
WaveDisplay
A program that works with any soundblaster 16 compatible sound card. It displays the sound coming into your sound card on the screen in a rather nice way. For info and screenshots, see the WaveDisplay page.
