Hey Peter, Thanks again for all your help. The solution to my problem was at the other end of my nose... in your script. I now see that your script is probably called from /home/pi/.profile. In short, your advice was concise and spot on. It just took me a bit of study to realize it. Thanks agai

Hi Preston, The fluidsynth command line options in the script have -is. i says no-shell, s says run as a server. Then the terminal session started automatically at boot starts it up. It seems to work reliably enough for me, although there is a delay (5 sec? in the script that I might lengthen a

Hi Peter, Man! I had a miserable experience getting fluidsynth to run at boot. I tried everything: editing the rc.local,.bashrc, init.d,even tried my hand at the new system. Somewhere I stumbled upon the "-- no-shell" and the "-- service" options and one of these (I don't know which just yet) did

Hi Preston, What I actually have is an organ with a Teensy 3.2 running Arduino code reading the keystrokes and producing a MIDI stream to a USB port. This USB then connects into the RPi where fluidsynth processes the MIDI into an audio output. So logically I imagine Piano Booster also produces

Hi Peter, Thanks so much for the script. Good to know that you got it to work. One line in the script had me wondering. "echo Arduino input port: $myownport" Did this script also work on the RPi? My next step is to optimize the "machine" to the task of making sound. Ted Felix MIDI should be some

I don’t claim to be an expert, but amended a script to my requirements. I finished with a script called ‘fluid’ which I installed in /usr/local/bin. I also established a user called synth in the ‘audio’ group, to help with latency, and added a couple of lines to the end of /home/pi/.profile, co

Anyone tried or had success starting Fluidsynth at boot on a Rasp Pi? I'm trying to create a RPi machine dedicated to playing Piano Booster (an application that teaches piano playing.) Piano Booster depends upon a running instance of Fluidsynth. Cheers, Preston ___
