so it isn't a terrible loss. Still, it would be nice if I could somehow fix it (for the time being). - Aere On Tue, 2012-07-31 at 22:50 +0200, David Henningsson wrote: > On 07/31/2012 10:39 PM, Aere Greenway wrote: > > David: > > > > I performed the steps for retrievi

Re: [fluid-dev] Proposal: FluidSynth tester program

he test, I could possibly run it from the command line, but I would have to figure out how to duplicate my qsynth configuration using command-line parameters, and the time in the past I tried that, it was not obvious how to do it. - Aere On Tue, 2012-07-31 at 22:50 +0200, David Henningsson wrote:

Re: [fluid-dev] Proposal: FluidSynth tester program

David: I am willing to test candidate releases of Qsynth to ensure that they work on all of the machines in my lab (which includes some slow, low memory machines), and that they run all of my demo pieces, which have not successfully played on Qsynth in the last two Ubuntu releases. Hopefully th

Re: [fluid-dev] stereo sounds and panning

All: Just a quick note of caution on this subject. Sequence editors give you control of the pan (left/right) position of each MIDI track. Usually it is used to initially position the instruments of the ensemble, but I have (as a matter of novelty) moved an instrument from one side to the other

Re: [fluid-dev] FPE Exceptions (was Re: Problem in fluidsynth (Ubuntu 11.10) still in Ubuntu 12.04)

Pedro, and all: It's interesting from your point of view, that the problem happens on older, less capable machines, because of their floating-point handling, as well as because of having to reduce the polyphony to avoid excessive processing overhead. So I guess the older machines get hit by it

Re: [fluid-dev] Durations in the API with FLUID_SEQ_NOTE

Corbin: If you play a MIDI file that is sufficiently complex to max-out the polyphony parameter, fluidsynth gets in a 'bad state' where new notes are either dropped (don't play at all), or play for only a short instant (less than half a second). This happens on the version of fluidsynth releas

Re: [fluid-dev] Problem in fluidsynth (Ubuntu 11.10) still in Ubuntu 12.04

Re: [fluid-dev] Problem in fluidsynth (Ubuntu 11.10) still in Ubuntu 12.04

t I had problems because the FluidSynth developers don't use JACK, and the development version caused problems with using JACK. The JACK audio connection kit is essential to me. I cannot leave it out. - Aere On Wed, 2012-05-02 at 15:47 +0200, David Henningsson wrote: > On 04/28/2012

[fluid-dev] Problem in fluidsynth (Ubuntu 11.10) still in Ubuntu 12.04

All: Months ago, I discovered a problem with fluidsynth where voices for new notes would fail to play because (my guess) older notes which had faded to inaudible status were still playing. I worked with David Henningson on this problem, and he made a fix for it available (in a PPA). This fix

Dr.Leo: I am not a fluidsynth developer, but am on their e-mail list. I have experience with respect to converting from MIDI to WAV, on Linux (I realize you use Windows, but I don't have much expertise with Windows). On Linux, I would simply import the MIDI file into Rosegarden (a sequence e

Re: [fluid-dev] Volume background and foreground

James: I actually have (and have used for composing) an LPK25 keyboard, though I don't particularly like it because of its stiff action. It is velocity-sensitive, which is a good thing. The LPK25, though it doesn't have a way of directly changing the MIDI channel, has up to four sets of preset

Re: [fluid-dev] Volume background and foreground

James: The way you change the MIDI transmit channel is different for each particular MIDI keyboard you use, and you (unfortunately) have to check in the manual for your keyboard to learn how to do it. Using the M-Audio Keystation-88 keyboard (which I use, and recommend), I first press the "Adva

Re: [fluid-dev] Volume background and foreground

James: I do something similar all the time, since it allows me to perform (using Qsynth/Fluidsynth) with what I call composite voices. For example, full-volume piano, with the same performance data going to String Ensemble 1 (on the other Qsynth 'engine') at a lower volume. I have been doing i
