The MIDI tuning standard is, well, a bit of a mess, and it's almost always
implemented incorrectly. A certain
Thank you Ben and Mr. Horn. I finally managed to solve the problem by
adding sudo to the line in rc.local that runs the script at boot. Thanks
for your help!

Hi Srijan.
The only thing I can imagine with using root to run the synth is that
root has a restricted PATH variable - so to get it to do some things you
need to specify the full path to the executable. Is fluidsynth actually
starting when using root on startup? If not, that may be your proble
Hello,
Sorry about replying to this so late! I had to travel suddenly and had to
put my project on hold for a while. I'm back on it now, though.
Thanks for your suggestions. I'm going to try using a crontab to see if
that solves the problem. To answer your question, yes I've set the

Hi Srijan.
Your project sounds challenging! Is latency an issue for you? Everyone
says it will be, but I haven't found it to be a problem. Maybe wind
players expect some anyway? It may be different for a keyboard.
A few suggestions:

Thank you for your email and sorry about the delayed response.
I tried using the syntax you've used, but the problem persists. Everything
works except the loading of the configuration file. The funny thing is, if

Hi Srijan
I use the the following options and it works well on my Rpi:

Hello,
I'm using a script to run fluidsynth at boot as a server and without the
shell (using -is) on my raspberry pi. I'm also giving it a configuration
file using the -f flag.
Fluid synth starts properly and loads the sound font just fine, but
whatever I do, it just doesn't load the config file.
