Rename all the files: You must take off the zip extention and the last dot. For example: "FF7.exe.zip" will be renamed to "FF7.exe". (You don't need to download the WinRar Program, but you will need the Sfpack Program.
Once all files are renamed (the ".zip" removed) Run the FF7.exe file and follow the onscreen directions. (basic automatic unzip wizard)
Use the SFpack program to uncompresses the new file created after running the FF7.exe..
Use Explorer....or something...and go to your FF7 folder "C:\Program Files\Squaresoft,Inc\ Final Fanasy VII\data\midi\sf2"
Move the original FF7.sf2 file to a safe place.
Copy or Move the new FF7.sf2 file to the above, directory.

06/20/01 (Ver.2.05) Oops...Looks like I messed up on the Skins on version 2.04...The next version will have better Drums...
08/07/01 (Ver. 2.06) I've done a few volume modification to the Precussion sets. Which controls many things like bass and drums. Maybe it's noticable, maybe it isn't.
Open your Audio HQ.
Doubleclick on Soundfont.
Go to the last Tab, "Options".
And move the slider bar.
Also, for best computer results....unload all Soundfonts from memory before and after playing the game.
It's the first Tab, "Configure Bank".
All "select Banks" should say:
"[*Empty]"
Just highlight the unwanted Soundfonts, and push the "Clear" button..
