Honestly, I had a feeling like NitroFont doesn't meet my expectations. This should explain why I haven't released a new version of NitroFont lately. Version 6.0 of NitroFont was among my plans, but I found starting from scratch and rebooting the project to be easier than updating an existing one, given that NitroFont already has over 400 presets. I was sure I'd need to spend a lot of time, and was afraid I'd certainly leave some oversights here and there.

So, there you have it. NitroFont Rebooted is, you guessed it, a complete rework of NitroFont, its successor. There are many ways it does better than NitroFont:

90s MIDI vibes: NitroFont Rebooted is better at capturing the feeling associated with sound modules released throughout the 1990s, especially the Roland Sound Canvas series. Many instruments were given shorter decay and/or release times to closely match the Roland SC-55 in particular.
Studio-like sound: using the power of the SoundFont 2.04 specification's attenuation feature, basses were made louder than the rest of the instrumentation featured in the soundfont, thus allowing certain MIDI compositions to sound like studio recordings. A similar approach was used in SONiVOX's 24 MB sound bank.
Smart stereo width: each preset has cleverly picked reverb and chorus send levels, with the exception of the sound effects (presets 120-127). Basses and drums have little reverb compared to most other presets, while strings and synth pads have more pronounced reverb. The electric pianos and Fender Stratocaster guitar (aka clean guitar) have chorus as well. This enhances realism and introduces some stereo width to the affected instruments.
Clever special programming: many instruments (the piano, the celesta, the hammered dulcimer, to name a few) use velocity maps to play different samples at different velocity levels, enhancing realism and allowing these instruments to sound more dynamic, especially in MIDI compositions with humanization (round robins) in them. In addition to this, most instruments make cleverer use of modulators compared to the original NitroFont project, e.g., the vibrato speed is affected by the note number in wind instruments.
Creativity: I've taken some creative liberties when working on this soundfont. It has some intentional deviations from the General MIDI standard in order to give it some personality. For instance, who needs a Fantasia pad when you can have a harpsichord layered over synth strings?

Enjoy the fresh new coat of paint(?) the flagship soundfont has been given!

    Could you add the clicking sound again for plucked string presets like guitars on this sound bank?

    Not extracting anymore. Unfortunately the app Files can't extract the .sf2 file, showing a bug "Can't extract the file. There was a problem with the file". Did the file got corrupted, or has a "check-sum" bug?

    Okay, I reuploaded the file. Thanks for letting me know about the problem! I guess I was a tad careless when picking the archive format, compression algorithm, etc. The file is now available in its pure form rather than packed inside a .zip archive.

    Anyways, enjoy the new soundfont!

    Wahoo! Rupurudu!
