The Crisis 3.01 appears to be a very interesting sound,
but, even though I have sufficient RAM on my machine,
it is unreasonably large for rendering a lot of music
which does not require all 128 instruments.

A better solution would be to package the instruments
separately as single files and then load only those
files that are necessary for rendering a particular
composition.  For example, to render a string quartet
only the violin, viola, cello, and double bass soundfonts
need be present in memory.  TiMidity++ easily can handle
such a situation and does not require the full package
to be loaded.

Has anyone packaged the soundfonts from Crisis 3.01
as separate files, or at least groups of files?

Perhaps a soundfont editor could be used to extract
the individual soundfonts from Crisis 3.01.  This would
allow a user to select and use only those soudfonts
needed for a particular rendering.
