Hello Yavuz, Sounds like you're trying to use pyfluidsynth, and you've run into this issue . Basically, there's an old unmaintained module called 'fluidsynth' on pypi that often gets confused with the one you're trying t

I'm looking at the plot from systemd-analyze, which gives times from when the kernel starts, so I guess it doesn't include boot. If I time with a stopwatch it is about 25 seconds from power on until ready to play. Not that fast I guess. On Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 11:10 PM Ben Gonzales via fluid-dev <

How fast do you need? I've been able to get FS start times of 7-10 seconds on a Raspberry Pi by running it as a systemd service. Here you can see the unit file I use, if tha

Re: [fluid-dev] Pitchbend maximum

2022-02-03 Thread Bill Peterson
You can do it by using control change messages to set the Registered Parameter for pitch bend range, as described in Tom's comment on this discussion . For example, if you want to set MIDI channel 1 to have a pitch bend ran

Re: [fluid-dev] fluidsynth tries to connect to jackd

2021-04-08 Thread Bill Peterson
No, you don't have to install jackd - you can use ALSA by adding `-a alsa` to your command line: fluidsynth -a alsa /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 the-midi-file.mid On Linux, Fluidsynth tries to use JACK by default, but you can specify any of the options in the FluidSettings.xml file

Thanks for the clarifications, all! I thought the main issue was probably an ALSA limitation, but I think I can do what I want using JACK and the information you've given me. On Tue, Aug 4, 2020 at 2:33 AM Marcus Weseloh wrote: > Hi, > > Am Di., 4. Aug. 2020 um 02:16 Uhr schrieb Ceresa Jean-Jacq

Hi Tom - thanks for the reply. I tried to follow the LADSPA documentation's advice, but maybe I'm not understanding how synth.audio-channels and synth.audio-groups interact. Here's the command line I'm using: sudo fluidsynth -a alsa -o midi.autoconnect=1 -o synth.ladspa.active=1 -o synth.audio-cha

[fluid-dev] synth.audio-groups and LADSPA effects

2020-07-21 Thread Bill Peterson
Is it possible to have LADSPA effects be active on some MIDI channels and not others? The description in fluidsettings of 'synth.audio-groups' seems to imply this is possible (i.e. " In case of LADSPA unit, think of it as subgroups on a mixer."). I can get LADSPA plugins to work (e.g. TAP Echo) on
