[qsynth-devel] Gervill: Java soundfont2/DLS synthesizer

[Pedro Lopez-C. <ped...@gm...>]

Hi,

Maybe you like to know that Gervill, the Java free synthesizer version 1.0 has 
been released under the GPLv2 license:

https://gervill.dev.java.net/

This project is proposed as the Audio Synthesis Engine that would be used in  
the GPL java runtime, replacing the old proprietary one. It is a wave table 
synthesizer supporting the standards: DLS2, SoundFont2 and also audio files 
as sound banks. It is worth to try. A MIDI file player is included. A few 
quick tips:

$ unzip gervill-1.0.zip
$ cd gervill/bin
$ java -Xmx256M simplemidiplayer.SimpleMidiPlayer 

(the -Xmx256M argument gives 256 Mb to the player, enough to load the 
General User soundfont.)

Regards,
Pedro
