How To Install fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont

fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont is:

This is the hard disc space-saving Mono version of the complete Fluid (R3) GM SoundFont in the compressed SF3 format, as shipped with MuseScore 2.0 up to, but not including, 2.2 (which switched to musescore-general-soundfont and musescore-general-soundfont-small).

It can be used with most modern MIDI synthesisers which support the SF3 format and has a low installed size footprint, while providing the large GM sound set. It does not, however, support Single-Note Dynamics with MuseScore 3.2 and higher.

As it comes under the MIT licence, it can be used in most settings, but do remember that waveforms generated using this soundfont are ??copies or substantial portions of the?? soundfont. It is sufficient to reproduce the licence and copyright notice in any ??associated documentation files?? provided with your generated waveforms.

This package will be installed into /usr/share/sounds/sf3/ which is the standard Debian location for system-wide SF3 soundfonts.
