> fluidsynth: error: Device </dev/dsp> does not exists For some reason fluidsynth starts the OSS audio driver rather than the file renderer. As if you were calling
fluidsynth_exec/fluidsynth -ni tmp_sf2_file_name tmp_mid_file_name Make sure your python script doesn't omitt the last two flags. Note that the correct calling convention for fluidsynth is fluidsynth [options] [soundfonts] [midifiles] so it should be: fluidsynth -ni -F tmp_wav_file_name -r 44100 tmp_sf2_file_name \ tmp_mid_file_name although this shouldn't matter currently. Passing "-a file" is not necessary. If it still doesn't work, post the output of fluidsynth -o help | grep audio Also note that it's not a good idea to use the recent git version, as it might be unstable. Prefer stable releases instead. Tom _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
