Hello Bernat, Sorry it took me so long to answer your question. Unfortunately I'm not sure currently what exactly causes this issue and I haven't yet really put any time into figuring it out yet either. As you mentioned though, it does indeed seem like its a distortion that occurs even though the sound card output is not maxed, which would indicate internal distortion of some sort. I suspect it might have to do with reverb or chorus (try turning them off) or perhaps with the volume attenuation of samples and how they are mixed.
I've added a ticket for this issue here: http://fluidsynth.resonance.org/trac/ticket/13 I'm currently working on getting Swami 2.0 released after which I'll be putting some more time into FluidSynth. Thanks for reporting this issue and your other findings. Josh On Mon, 2008-03-17 at 02:03 +0100, Bernat Arlandis i Mañó wrote: > I've done some more investigation.
