opl3 bank editor
vinyl goddess
I want the bass patch from lvl 1 crush. cant do anything with vgm files.(plogue portasound could but hasn't been ported to linux yet) disco dsp opl loads sbi files. i think i could use opl3 bank editor to convert .snd files to work and even use it in adlib tracker.

4op to dx7 conversion project
I was looking for 2 op fm patches similar to the adlib soundblaster or my pss170 and trying to see if anybody converted the sysex to dx7 format and came across this project. 4op2dx7
super stoked they have the fb01!!! no longer need to use deflemasks fb01 patches. I wanted to like it. Any tracker that doesn't have a hot key to jump to next note/ cyclic shift and play from line is too tedious. I used to have to do a work around where I would route midi from fl and use pulse audios loopback to re sample it in audacity.

ym2612 dexed presets
sega genesis style patches for your dx7
cool they work on ios in kq dixie! probably would work in fm8, and sytrus too then. I love plogues chipsynth md for ym2612 sounds. I haven't been able to run it on linux though. I heard on bluesky in q2 they ate planning on having linux betas ready by then so I'm excited. In the meantime Ive been using the rom dumped patches converted to tfi format from aly james lab's fm drive that ported the fb-01 patches to the megadrive. that 4 op sound is close to the genesis sound. I prefer that curated palate of sounds to having the millions of dx7 nameless electric piano patches. those collections are cumbersome and wading through those is exhausting.
Theres a sweet spot with having presets. too many or too few is bad. it takes alot of time to make sounds from scratch when tou already have a musical idea in your head and you want to get it out. Thats why having presets can be usefull. Too many and it feels like your drowning. spend more time comparing sound a with sound b and get nowhere.
