I’m afraid I don’t use SoundFont files or other common soundbank file formats, so I don’t have anything prepared I could hand out!
Here is the synthesizer I made to create these: https://github.com/L-Spiro/Nintendo-Synthy-4
It’s not user-friendly at the moment, but someday it will be.

To create a SoundFont file you wouldn’t need to record every note one-by-one; you can use the same set of samples I used (though they were given to me personally so I can’t direct you to a public place to download them), and modulo is only used in 2 tracks I believe. You should be able to match the modulo parameters exactly in a SoundFont, so you wouldn’t have to record note-by-note. Actually EAD games use modulo rather than vibrato, which basically just means they can change the amount of vibrato at run-time, so note-by-note recordings wouldn’t really be able to capture that. I can’t give out my sample files, but I do believe you can find them somewhere.

As for the rest, I have to agree about pursuing your passions! Especially when it comes to learning to program. Being able to program means having the power to dream any dream and then make it a reality on your own!

I wish to see a soundfont be made out of these high-quality samples, all with the same tremolo, envelopes, delay, reverb, and chorus. Although, I do believe this would require rendering every instrument individually with the proprietary C++ synthesizer made specifically for this project, each recording being a one-shot playing a singular note, and the musical note in question is different every time. It would be a time-consuming process. Would be cool for the general public? Yes, absolutely! But would it be worth it for the individual responsible for the creation of the desired soundfont? I do not have the answer to that question, unfortunately.

Another option available to us would be to look up for the sources of Super Mario 64's instruments for the explicit purpose of making our own soundfonts. Although, the software and techniques we'd be using may not be on-par with the restoration project we're commenting on, but hey! Don't let your skills discourage you from committing to your endeavors. Taking the initiative is better than standing cowardly at the start of the pathway leading to your destiny. You gain experience as you go, and you can then use that experience to improve your skills and expand your knowledge. If what you're doing doesn't turn out the way you hoped, then no harsh feelings. You made the attempt and that is fantastic! You passed through the obstacles everyone else shied away from, and I believe your efforts are admirable. Keep on growing, keep on learning, keep on improving, and keep having fun!

Nice stuff this is!

This sounds great! I didn't think that SM64 used sampling, but why wouldn't it? : P

Hey! This sounds great!

Is this from the Church of Kondo?
