The best SoundFont libraries use the General MIDI (GM) standard. This means Patch #1 is always Acoustic Grand Piano, Patch #34 is Electric Bass (Finger), etc. If you download a GM library, you can immediately play any standard MIDI file (like a backing track from a video game) and it will sound correct.

You can source instruments from several well-established archives and specialized creators:

: You can stack samples so that hitting a key harder triggers a "loud" recording and hitting it softly triggers a "quiet" one.

Since SoundFonts loop portions of sustained sounds (like a violin or a synth pad), poor looping creates a "click" or a rhythmic pulsing. A great library has seamless, invisible loops.
