Hi,
Background: I'm generating midi files using Lilypond. I want to create
audio that uses instruments from different soundfonts, and I want to
control this from the unix command line, so that audio production is in
an automated pipeline (I use gnu make).
My first attempt to do this was via a config file:
load /opt/local/share/sounds/sf2/GeneralUser_GS_v1.47.sf2
load /Users/matt/Downloads/Nice-Keys-Ultimate-V2.3.sf2
select 4 2 0 33
select 5 2 0 33
select 6 1 0 33
select 7 1 0 33
... loaded from the command line:
fluidsynth -f config.fluidsynth -F myMusic.wav myMusic.mid
This does not work (the wav is generated, but not using the instruments
specified in the select commands) - I guess that the instructions in
myMusic.mid override what I had set up in the config file.
Second attempt:
1. Put the select commands into a separate file `selections.fluidsynth`
2. `config.fluidsynth` now contains only the load commands
3. Redirect commands from `selections.fluidsyth` on the command line:
fluidsynth -f config.fluidsynth -F myMusic.wav myMusic.mid <
selections.fluidsynth
This doesn't work. I guess -F means that FluidSynth is not reading shell
commands from stdin.
What should I do? I'm new to using FluidSynth in anything other than a
very basic way. I may well be missing something 'obvious'!

Using: FluidSynth 1.1.6 on Mac
PS - FluidSynth is brilliant! Thanks to all involved.
