Greetings,
I keep wishing there was some little config file, maybe:
~> cat ~/.fluidsynth/config
audio:
alsa
soundfonts:
/home/soundfonts/MyGM.sf2
/home/soundfonts/ReallyGoodPiano.sf2
something like that.
(In fact it would almost fit in an environment variable)
Has any other fluidsynth app adopted a config file format
(or environment variable) that I could adopt/reuse/share ?
In general, the fluidsynth settings system could use some
thinking/overhaul, as some things you want to do is done by using
settings, other things can be done from the shell, and some can be done
from both.
I posted this previously. Having a specification where an application should
look for soundfonts would be nice. This could be a fallback-path and an
environment variable (e.g. SF2_PATH). Right now I am have a heuristic in my
code:
https://github.com/Buzztrax/gst-buzztrax/blob/master/src/fluidsynth/fluidsynth.c#L729
https://github.com/Buzztrax/gst-buzztrax/blob/master/src/fluidsynth/fluidsynth.c#L293
In latest git head, there is a "synth.default-soundfont" option.
The fluidsynth executable uses it if you have not specified a midi file
but not a soundfont on the command line.
You can also read the default value in your application by creating a
settings object and then use fluid_settings_getstr().
