Well as far as I know, 1.1.1 was always the version of FluidSynth included with Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). When you say "the current Ubuntu default" are you referring to 10.04 still (which is still at FluidSynth 1.1.1)? Because Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick; which came out a week ago) has FluidSynth 1.1.2 included. Wait, you say January 2010 -- I assume therefore you mean you used the version in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), which was FluidSynth 1.0.9 according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/sound/fluidsynth This midi file > > https://sites.google.com/site/metaruka/GameGame/01Game-Game.mid?attredirects=0 > with this soundfont > ftp://ftp.personalcopy.net/pub/RealFont_2_1.sfArk > renders with lead synth sounding distinctly off-note (however sounding > okay with 8MBGMSFX.SF2) > I can't get to that FTP site (the second link) -- it seems the server is down. Can you upload the SF to dropbox like you did with the ogg file?

If you can't reproduce the "good" music even with an older version of FluidSynth, then perhaps something else has changed? Maybe the MIDI file, the soundfont, or the parameters have changed since you last recorded the music in January? Have you specifically tried it with FluidSynth 1.0.9? Sorry I can't be more helpful. Hope these questions help you discover something more about this problem. Matt
