#20 How to Use Soundfont?
Just installed the app. I am on fedora-40. I have specified the use of fluidsynth as the MIDI output/synth. But I'm not seeing any way to tell the app to tell fluidsynth to use the set of custom soundfont files that I need it to use for playback. Per Linux standards, the soundfont files are in /usr/share/soundfonts.
Is it possible to do this? If so, how would I go about it?
See the attached picture. Press the "MIDI Setup" button (1), (or open the menu Settings->MIDI Setup). In the Connections dialog, choose Fluidsynth on both drop down lists. Press the wrench button (2) to open the Fluidsynth driver settings (3). On this dialog, fill the "Sound Font" text box (or press the "..." button to open the file selection dialog (4).
