Yoshimi (Linux Synthesizer) soundfont banks
Hi, Gang!!!
As you know, I use MuseScore 3.2.3 with Ubuntu Studio 19.10 (64 bits Linux).
With the standard Ubuntu Studio installation, we can use a very good MIDI synthesizer called: Yoshimi,
This app has a very cool Organ sounds bank, So awesome organ sounds!!!
BUT... It works with its own banks of soundfont into the "usr/share/yoshimi/banks" directory.
The problem is... IT IS NOT STANDARD SOUNDFONT FILES (*.sf2 or *.sf3).
It is some "*.xiz" (Gzip format... maybe, I don't know).
Does somebody know how to convert it into standard soundfont format? ???
Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

From the wikipedia page of Yoshimi:
"All signal generation is done by synthesis, not using import of external samples"
Soundfonts in comparison are all about samples instead of synthesis. You can't convert their samples into a soundfont because they don't have samples.
So, presumably you could to record the sounds coming from the synth and build the soundfont that way.
Thanks a lot for your data, fellows!!!
I discovered that those files are compressed files containing *.xml format files inside.
So... I don't know if there is some way to convert that xml format into a soundfont, directly.
