Added another bank. Similar to #1, more of an expansion pack.
Named the first program 'Galager', then got lazy and started naming them all Galager.
Fixed the 'Circuit' program sample delay in the first one and replaced the bank.

I posted some soundfont content that I gathered for people that didn't any soundfonts.
But noticed a lot of the legacy instruments are just duplicates, or just a play on volume envelopes, or easily recreated with available synths.
So there is merely a handful of soundfonts that I cherry picked and made a DirectWave program bank out of.
This is from the chiptune genre. Sounds that are emulated from the old hardware and sound unique to them. That was the goal anyway.
Here ya go, fl fam.

16 DW programs. File size on disk: 89MB.

Extract it, then cut and paste into the DW browser folder: Then it shows up in DW's own browser. Drag and drop onto the keybed area or double click.
Warning: I'm pretty sure if you already have something running in an instance of DW, loading this will bulldoze that out of existence.
If you like 8bit sounds, but passed on the soundfonts, then you're gonna want this.
Why choose to use DirectWave instead of just using the SoundFont player?
-The MIDI note colours can play different programs (instruments) in the same pattern.
-The majority of notes don't suffer from the resample time stretching (except the outer edges).
-Renaming, editing, saving, etc.
-Sample editor right in the plugin. Including Edison tools and loop points.
-More effects!
-Effects can be global or custom per zone. (That will be more important with SFX programs)
-Fullscreen
-Zone remapping and layering
So basically DW is a Soundfont alphaChad. Superior in enough ways to be the weapon of choice.
This bank is just some melodic instruments. I did it first to get it out of the way.
But the real gems in the 8bit soundfonts are the sound effects and drum kits. There's hundreds of them and they're all awesome.
I'm going to make some DW programs with just the chiptune sound effects and drum kits, but that will take a long time.
Good times.
