Description

A real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications. It can be used for live audio synthesis of MIDI events or for rendering MIDI files to disk, using SoundFont instruments. It can also be embedded in other applications.

This is not a application with a GUI. For an easy-to-use frontend to FluidSynth, look at e g QSynth.

    FluidSynth is one of the key components of my Linux music setup -- flexible powerful, straightforward. Love it. My only significant problem with the program is that I haven't been able, so far, to get it to behave properly with my EWI USB wind controller. No matter how the controller is configured, the response to breath pressure is unpredictable and uncontrollable -- makes the EWI unplayable with FS. I notice that there was a patch for this submitted a couple of years ago, but that it doesn't seem to have been incorporated into the code by the FS developers. I'm willing to try to patch it myself, but. . . much code has changed since the patch was produced and so has the build system (and I've never used Cmake). I'd like to know if anyone has applied the EWI patch to the latest code, and how it worked out. Also, for the project admins: Did you find pebbleroller's patch problematic for some reason, or is it just a matter of project priorities? The algorithm in his/her patch looks like the right approach to channel pressure for the EWI, to me, although I'm not enough of an expert to be certain. Anyway, notwithstanding the above, FluidSynth is a great program! I think almost all Linux musicians agree,
