If you run FluidSynth with the -s switch it will start up the TCP/IP server on port 9800 by default (the shell.port setting controls this). When making connections to this port (using telnet, netcat, a TCP/IP socket, etc) it has the same format as the standard FluidSynth console shell. > I was hoping that, for example (libfluidsynth doc): > > fluid_settings_setstr > (settings, "some_parameter", "some_value"); > > could apply to an existing (running) synth, without having to do > > synth = > new_fluid_synth(settings); > > But it seems that there's nothing like a synth = open_running_fluid_synth() > :-( > >>Nice to > hear about your results with the ARM platform you are using.
