Hello:
I have a basic question about the default behaviour of the sustain
function. I use the standard MIDI GM soundfont and select a wind
instrument like 65 Alto Sax. When I hold down the sustain pedal and
play any note, the note is sustained indefinitely until I let got the
sustain pedal. Is this the expected behaviour? By contrast, an
instrument like 0 Piano will simply decay more slowly when the sustain
pedal is pressed but will ultimately still fade away. With a wind
instrument, since the notes stay on, it quickly becomes a very loud
cacophony of notes unless you quickly let go of the pedal.
Is this a property of the soundfont or of the fluidsynth settings?
What changes to the fluidsynth settings would I need to make to have a
similar behaviour on the wind instruments than I get on other
instruments (slow fade)?
Regards,
EG

EG:
I think (and hope) it is the expected behavior.
In performing with such an instrument sound (oboe, for example), I
sometimes use the sustain pedal to hold out a note while I shift my
hand(s) to a different area. So it is useful in that rare occasion.
Usually though, the sustain pedal is not useful for such instrument sounds.
