Hi George, just out of curiosity: could you post the output of fluidsynth that got logged to the file when you redirected the stderr and stdout output? Cheers Marcus ___ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listin

@Tom, thanks for your input. As I mentioned in my last post to the list I am satisfied that the problem is not connected to MIDI connections. I can see the [automatic] connection confirmation messages and manually disconnecting and re-connecting the midi inputs using aconnect makes no difference t

Hi George, you can try to find out what's going on by redirecting fluidsynth output on stderr and stdout to a file. For example, to log both errors and normal output to a single file /tmp/fluidsynth.log, you can use: /home/george/fluidsynth -s -i -m alsa_seq -o midi.autoconnect=1 -a alsa -g 4 /ho
