Have you considered using fluidsynth (http://www.nongnu.org/fluid/)? It's a softsynth with soundfont support as a C library. AFAIK there are no Python bindings (does BASSMidi have them?) but you could probably use ctypes as well. You can also start is as a separate process and then send commands via stdin. > However, some of the downsides: * Good-sounding soundfonts are several megabytes in size > * No Linux support Booooh!
