Hi! Getting back to the discussion:
Here is a command line whereby the system works with "noteon":
fluidsynth -v -a alsa -o synth.gain=3.0 -o synth.verbose=yes
/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
The easiest way is to use the alsa rawmidi driver. Find the card name by
looking at the /proc/asound/cards file - find the row corresponding to
the right sound card, and the label within brackets.
In my case it's "Piano", so then the options I need to add are:
" -m alsa_raw -o midi.alsa.device=hw:Piano"
(of course in your case replace "Piano" with your card name)
Thanks for these hints, David. Raw MIDI without any mixer activity by
CPU sounds like a good choice to minimize latency.
I tried the ALSA raw option but it seems that "aconnect" can only be
used to connect the MIDI input device to FluidSynth when "-m alsa_seq"
is given to FluidSynth because only then a suitable connection entry
shown by "aconnect -lio" is created.
So, when using alsa_raw, what is the recommended way to connect a MIDI
input device?
Thanks,
Vesa
