Issue explained at PatrickWolleb/SoundFontJS#1 (comment) Added SOX dependency
Small fix to the sox command
It was found that midilib uses names that are incompatible with MIDI.js For example, midilib uses "SynthBrass 1" -> https://github.com/jimm/midilib/blob/6c8e481ae72cd9f00a38eb3700ddfca6b549f153/lib/midilib/consts.rb#L280 and the MIDI association uses "SynthBrass 1" -> https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/gm-level-1-sound-set but the MIDI.js calls this "Synth Brass 1" -> https://github.com/mudcube/MIDI.js/blob/a8a84257afa70721ae462448048a87301fc1554a/js/midi/gm.js#L44 there are others like "Bag pipe" vs "Bagpipe", etc. here, we use the MIDI.js definitions because that is how most users will interact with the generated soundfonts.
MIDI.js uses a `clean` function to turn human readable names into slugs for instrument names. This PR makes the builder's names match that of MIDI.js https://github.com/mudcube/MIDI.js/blob/a8a84257afa70721ae462448048a87301fc1554a/js/midi/gm.js#L11
Update to the FatBoy soundfont, which is free (https://fatboy.site/)

As far as I know the project has been abandoned. I have a fork at https://github.com/mscuthbert/midicube which is taking PRs. |

This PR performs two main goals:
midilibnaming schemes.For example,
midilibuses "SynthBrass 1" -> https://github.com/jimm/midilib/blob/6c8e481ae72cd9f00a38eb3700ddfca6b549f153/lib/midilib/consts.rb#L280and the MIDI association uses "SynthBrass 1" -> https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/gm-level-1-sound-set
but the MIDI.js calls this "Synth Brass 1" ->
MIDI.js/js/midi/gm.js
Line 44 in a8a8425
There are others like "Bag pipe" vs "Bagpipe" that cause issues with generation.
Now we use the MIDI.js definitions because that is how most users will interact with the generated soundfonts.
