Hi all,
I have SiS SI7018 card on my motherboard and I have troubles loading
soundfront files into wave table memory using sfxload. I've searched
for an information about SiS and how to init sound banks but found nothing.
When I try to play MIDI files through SI7018 using KMid, naturally I hear
silence only :)
My first card on the machine is Audigy2 and sfxload using 8MBGMSFX.SF2
works fine.
Please beat me with a cluebat if I'm missing something obvious. Thanks.
Hi Georgi. Perhaps it's not obvious, but only cards using the EMU driver, like
your's and my Audigy2 are supported by Alsa for using sfxload to load
soundfonts. I was trying to help someone a couple of days ago to load
soundfonts onto a Vivanco 6C PCI card that has a wavetable synth, and had
this pointed out to me by Lee. You're only alternative is to use Timidity, or
I was aware that sfxload is only for AWE32 and other high end Creative cards,
but secretly I was hoping that there is a tool like sfxload for my crappy
integrated card too ;)
load soundfonts into Qsynth, the front end to Fluidsynth, and use that. It's
a pity that Kmidi has been discontinued. It worked fine using Timidity. It
was included with FC1 with the 2.4 kernel, and I wonder if there was some
problem with the 2.6 kernel, and that's why it has been dropped. Personally I
cannot stand Kmid, as it seems to regularly crash, and has just done so again
after closing it after looking at the settings. Sorry I can't be more
positive. Nigel.
I'm ok with using Timidity and even have it set up and playing. Pity that there
is no way to use SI7018 directly.
Thanks for the tips.
