253      Akai support files are a ported version of Sébastien Métrot's libakai. The
254      original libakai only supported Mac and Windows. This forked version of
255      libakai now also supports Linux and other POSIX compliant operating systems
256      as well and does not have a dependency to libngl as the original libakai had.
257    
258      The SoundFont 2 file format C++ classes were written by Grigor Iliev.
