Hmmm... I /thought/ that OSX (and/or Quicktime) came bundled with a DLS-format synth thingy that does GM. "DLS" (DownLoadable Sounds) is a generic alternative to Creative's soundfont format(s), used by companies that don't want to be beholden to Creative (eg Microsoft and Apple!). The DLS spec is supposedly a superset of Creative's, but it doesn't seem to be as popular. If OSX's built-in DLS player can import SoundFonts, then there are some alternative downloadable GM SoundFont sets available on the net ... the Jan Hammer GM soundfont set at www.soundfont.com costs the princely sum of ten dollars! http://www.soundfont.com/generalmidi.html If the OSX player /can't/ import SoundFonts, and you don't like the onboard sounds, you might still be able to find DLS-format GM files on the net somewhere else.
