I was looking for the psx soundfont cause I wanted to convert Doom 64 midis using the psx soundfont.

Sorry to bump an old topic.

I’ve used Foobar2000 before since it uses Fluidsynth as the midi engine (same as EX). All you need is the plugin to allow MIDI playback which is on Foobar’s site IIRC.

Really? I was under the impression they were CD audio. That's surprising. The more you know!

IIRC, it's because the N64 music player had bugs (perhaps hardware bugs) that Kaiser couldn't manage to replicate. The difference is because Fluidsynth actually plays all the channels of the MIDI files it's sent instead of muting some of them according to some arcane logic that could not be discerned.

So yes, you get richer music on D64X compared to the original, but it's not a deliberate enhancement, and the the source data is unchanged.

I have all of Aubrey Hodges music bought and downloaded. The reason I asked for Doom 64 EX OGGs is because it sounds different than the original N64 version. As if it was enhanced on the PC port. I can tell there are difference between 64 EX and N64 music by the way it sounds.

I did exactly what you had suggested and found a program online. Although I had to use a trial version but it got the job done. I now have all of 64 EX's midis converted to MP3s using the soundfont.

Thank you, for helping me with this. :)

EDIT: Is there a PSX Doom soundfont that I could get ahold of by any chance?

Using a midi player that allows soundfont loading and can also output to a WAV/FLAC/MP3/OGG might do it. I don't know of any particular software, but I know it can be done that way.

Or google them. There are a few places that you can get the tracks already converted to FLAC/MP3 etc format. Or you could even buy the digital album from the composer Aubrey Hodges. https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/album ... soundtrack

To clarify even further then what the title says. I wish to convert the music used by Doom 64 EX to OGG format. If I'm understanding this correctly, it will only play correctly in game with the soundfont and the fluidsynth but the midis sound weird.

So how would I got about getting this done correctly?
