I have downloaded mingus and want to run the pygame-drum example. I have installed the various dependencies it requires such as pygame, fluidsynth etc.

I get the following when I run:

python pygame-drum.py

fluidsynth: error: Unable to open file "soundfont.sf2" 
fluidsynth: error: Couldn't load soundfont file 
fluidsynth: error: Failed to load SoundFont "soundfont.sf2" 
Couldn't load soundfont soundfont.sf2

What is missing in this case and what more do I need to install to make the pygame-drum example work?
