Hi,

 

Absolute generators values sounds prior to soundfont format 2.0 (perhaps  .sbk  
file). It would be nice to get an input answer from the author.

It seems to be a deprecated functionnality now. By default , i would vote also 
to simply remove it.

Regards.

Hi,

>
I also can't see how this function could ever have had any effect. So really, 
by changing the code so that it does have an effect, you are introducing a new 
feature. Looking through the mailing-list archives of the last 14 years, there 
are only four posts that mention the fluid_synth_set_gen2 function.

One person stumbled across it and wondered why it doesn't have an effect. The 
others came from the thread-safety changes when somebody found the function in 
the code and decided to make it part of the public API, because: "These 
functions were meant to be made public at some point, as the comment suggests 
at the top of fluid_synth.c".

So it seems to me like no user has ever requested or used that feature, at 
least not in the last 14 years. And it's not part of the SoundFont specs. I 
would vote to simply remove it.
