It’s available for both Linux and Windows (NEW: 64 bit version).
I am using it!
LMMS is a free cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like FL Studio, which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and arranging of samples. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more; all in a user-friendly and modern interface.
Warning!
- The program is installed in “Programs (x86)” folder by default although you downloaded 64bit version, and you have to change the folder when you install LMMS.
- You cannot change the language of the interface. I want English, but it’s blend of Swedish and English.
Changes in version 0.4.7:
Core:
- AutomationEditor: thread-safe handling of AutomationPattern pointer
- InlineAutomation: delete attached AutomationPattern immediately (fixes some random crashes when playing on virtual keyboard)
- EnvelopeAndLfoParameters: moved global instances management into helper class (fixes crashes when importing MIDI files)
- NotePlayHandle: fix broken note detuning feature
- AudioJack: do not use QVector in processCallback()
GUI:
- Themes: explicitely set background and text color for tooltips
- ExportProjectDialog: guess file format from extension
- Fixed cloning of BB tracks
- When cloning BB track, indicate this fact in name of cloned BB track
- TrackContentObject: keep position in paste()
- Default theme: replaced background artwork with a more decent one
- TextFloat: fixed size calculation in simple mode
- “Save changes?” dialog: Save/Discard instead of Yes/No
Plugins:
- CALF LADSPA plugins: resynced with Git repository
- LadspaEffect/Controls: fixed non-working global channel link checkbox
- Sf2Player: disable per-note-panning support for the time being
- SpectrumAnalyzer: skip processing if UI is not visible
- ZynAddSubFX: new background artwork
- ZynAddSubFX: updated to version 2.4.1
- ZynAddSubFX: allow hiding UI by closing main window
- ZynAddSubFX: added window icon (win32 version only)
- ZynAddSubFX: save configuration file in LMMS working directory
- ZynAddSubFX: added knobs for MIDI controls
- ZynAddSubFX: new QtXmlWrapper, a QtXml-based XML backend for ZASF
Misc:

- Do not use -ftree-vectorize per default anymore
- Win32/Win64 installer associate LMMS project files with LMMS

Not splendid but pretty good sound with different sizes. They are handy!
Page owner says:
This page is now on a new server, and downloads are handled via FTP. To keep free soundfonts free, the bandwidth must be controlled. If you get an error message from your browser when you select a download, try again in a few minutes – it just means that all connections are busy. Also, please don’t try to download more than one file at a time – you are limited to only a single connection and will get that error message again. Once a file is complete, you can download another. Thanks for your understanding.
It may not call large files these days, but there are many Mega bytes SoundFont there.
I tried them with my MidiToWav, and it felt a bit odd because it sounded very different from the Sequencer’s sound, but nice tuned!
PersonalCopy (http://www.personalcopy.com/)
Follow the link SoundFont!
There are free MIDI files and stuff too.
It feels 8MB Creative Labs SoundFont sounds better to me after all.
I have uploaded “Bach02.ZIP” content to:
http://www.esnips.com/web/BachConcerto.
They are re-sequenced and re-recorded and and even a bit better sound, I think anyway.
Now you can download for each MP3 file.

SF2 on BismutNetwork
when I was looking for something good on the Internet, I found a site called “BismutNetwork”. They have a high quality soundfont named Crisis General Midi 3.0 (1,57 Gb uncompressed) and it is free of charge. It is GM full bank…means really useful!
Also you can download many sample MP3 files from there.
SF2 on Soni Musicae
You will find 2 Harpsichords, 1 Pipe Organ, 1 Diatonic Accordion and 1 Bells soundfonts there, and Harpsichords are very nice. There is Piano sound as well but it is GIG format (Gigastudio) and I cannot play it. It says that I can use Synthfont (http://www.synthfont.com/) but it made some loud noise with my Vista. Perhaps you have Gigastudio or Halion … then try it!
I also found a nice Pipe Organ soundfont (almost 800 Mb uncompressed) without fee. Unfortunately I forgot where it was located and I cannot tell you here. It was Linux related site.
