Hi Matt, Pedro, Aere and all,
your tips have been very helpful. It's easy to use sox to play raw files
generated by fluidsynth and to convert them into everything I want
including mp3, the latter requiring lame of course. A three line shell
script (.bat file under windows) minimizes typing.
Luckily there is no need for me to compile fluidsynth with libsndfile.
Otherwise it would have been tedious: Although I believe having copied
the files from the libsndfile win32 package into the correct dirs as
Pedro described, the linker terminates with errors after generating the
dll.a file. By the way, I believe the pkg-config.pc is not entirely
correct apart from the wrong filename (libsndfile instead of
libsndfile-1): the '-l' option should arguably be separated from the
name: "-l libsndfile-1), but this is so obvious that it is hardly worth
mentioning. Or am I messing all up?
Anyway. Below is the transcript post compiling, but I don't feel like
digging deeper right now as I can do everything I want.
Cheers,
Leo

Hi, I'm on holiday right now so I can't test this suggestion, but from
memory, here's what I do.
FluidSynth has an option to set the sampling rate of the output. Sox
has an option to specify the sampling rate of the input. Just set them
both to the same value (an appropriate one is 44000, IIRC) and it will
work. Check the respective man pages to find the options.
I'm not sure if Fluid can directly do WAV output, but I don't use it.
The reason you need to specify the sampling rate is that RAW doesn't
include meta-information so you have to specify it yourself -- this
makes it the simplest format for a program to read or write.

thanks. As MinGW does the trick, I am not so keen to recompile it on
MSVC9. I just wanted to share a potential problem. But I realise that
the main problem is in my head rather than in fluidsynth's
repository. I
understand that you don't want to officially release windows binaries
for the reasons you mention. But I think it would still be useful.
If I
had a website I would probably do it myself, well I have a project on
Google code, but this is unrelated to music.
I've tried the -F option. A .raw file is created but I cannot play it.
SoX reports an error as the sampling rate is not specified. I
guess this
is a feature, not a bug. Still I want to use sndfile, but I don't know
how. The docs are tacit on this. There is a Windows binary of sndfile
alongside with the tarball. I tried to compile the tarball
successfully.
but I don't know how to include it in FluidSynth. I thought I'd just
copy sndfile.h in FluidSynth's include dir and the dll and def
files of
libfluidsynth in the MinGW lib dir. I know this is very basic and
should not be on this list. So I would also appreciate any link to
a concise recipe on compiling multiple libraries etc. but my only
goal so far is to create wav from midi.
Any further tips?

1. MSVC9
I did not manage to build it. It does not even build
libfluidsynth.lib.
Is there something wrong with the SLN file? Well, cmake
produced an
error at some point that did not look serious but may have
disrupted the
build process. If anyone is interested I'll send the log
files etc.
I would try to help if you post a brief message containing the
error messages,
and the exact versions of the software packages involved.
By the way, I've built FluidSynth SVN with VC++ 2010 Express
just now,
successfully. I've used:
From http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
- CMake 2.8.7,
From http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php
- GLib 2.28.8 (Run-time, Dev)
- gettext-runtime 0.18.1.1 (Run-time, Dev)
- pkg-config 0.26 (Tool)
CMake complains about the VC Redist runtime files, which are
not included in
Express anymore, but it is a warning not affecting the build
at all.
Strangely enough, MSVC9 did not complain about a missing
dsound.h etc.
The DirectX SDK is included in Visual Studio, even in VS Express.
I think it would be very useful to host a zip archive with
the binaries
on sf. If you haven't got a Win32 build environment I'd
happily send you
my .exe and .dll plus a readme file.
The problem is that we don't want to decide a particular
configuration and
compiler version to distribute an official Windows build. We
don't do that for
Mac OSX or Linux either. Building all permutations is out of
the question:
there are two compilers (VC++ and MinGW), two main
architectures (32 and 64
bit), and several optional dependencies...
Building the binaries depends on the exact requirements of
each program/user
using FluidSynth. For instance, including Readline changes the
license of the
resulting library from LGPL to GPL, and this may be
discouraging for some
users. Other optional components in Windows can be Sndfile,
Portaudio, and
Jack. Each one has specific use cases and drawbacks, which are
justified if
you really need the functionality (for instance, if you
include some of them
you need to distribute also their runtime DLL as well.)
3. fast-render
I don't understand the syntax. I tried from the cmd line:
fluidsynth r3.sf2 -f=output.raw input.mid
and it just plays the midi file without writing anything.
Any hint would
be much appreciated.
The short argument for fast render is "-F", with a capital F
letter. In this
case, followed by an space and the name of the output file
name. The long
argument is "--fast-render", followed by an equal sign ("=")
and the output
file name. Without the help of Readline, the command line
options must go
before the soundfont and midi file names. So, two correct
commands would be:
fluidsynth -F output.raw r3.sf2 input.mid
or
fluidsynth --fast-render=output.raw r3.sf2 input.mid

Pedro
