Hints:

SF2 A SoundFont is the sound format created by Emu Systems for Creative Labs. Today many hardware/software support this format which also forms the basis for the downloadable sounds format in Windows 95-98-NT-2000-XP-2003-Vista-etc. A SoundFont bank (*.sf2) contains the information of up to any instruments and any drum set in many banks. Each instrument contains a number of sampled sounds together with synthesiser parameters such as envelopes and filters. Before you can use the SF they must be loaded into the sample memory of your SoundFont compatible software/hardware using a midi player capable to use soundfonts like Timidity, Synthfont and SpiderPlayer.

MIDI Musical Instrument Digital Interface - Rather than recording sounds, MIDI instruments/software record finger action - what note is being played, when, and for how long. To playback MIDI files you need a sound card that can interpret the MIDI note data, either by creating the tones themselves (FM-synthesis) or playing back sounds that are stored internally (waveform) or using sounds stored in an external file like a soundfont file (sf2). "General MIDI" is an emerging standard for MIDI playback.
