Note that this is a fairly busy, quick tempo/pace. As I type this, I use the mouse to drag the scroll bar in a GUI text editor, with the midi song playing in the background, I definitely hear the jitters during the mouse drag. Not surprising, just mention it here anyway. I increase the Jackd timeout to 1000 (1 second). The song plays to the end for all the soundfonts. Of course Fluidsynth non-verbose mode give the leaast jitters, verbose mode the most jitters while the Fluidsynth process is in the foreground, a little less noisy when another window/process is in the foreground. The following are about the noise/jitters in Fluidsynth verbose mode. Unison.sf2 seems to give the least noise/jitters for me. It is also the smaller soundfont compare to the ones listed below. (Personal Copy's) PC51f.sf2, FluidR3_GM.sf2, GeneralUser_GS_SoftSynthv1.43.sf2 are fairly noisy in Fluidsynth verbose mode. SGM-V2.01.sf2 seems to give the most jitters, is the largest of these soundfonts. It seems the soundfont sample size may contribute to some processing (rendering, mixing) delays perhaps? Which may contributes to the delinquency of Fluidsynth ability to respond quick enough for Jackd? I also tried vkeybd while playing the midi song. There is no noticeable delay from vkeybd via jackd to fluidsynth, which should be excellent for live playing if there is no random the noise/jitters at times.
