I have two copies of both plugins in the combo box, and neither one of the FluidSynth plugins seems to do anything. Editor button is grayed out. Did I stick something in the wrong place perchance? I'm guessing the GUI bit. I stuck it here: /usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi/FluidSynth-DSSI_gtk Wait. I installed it with the wrong perms looks like. I didn't realize it was a binary. I installed it 644. OK, that's going. No great surprises there, really. It works. One thing though, when I closed RG and restarted to get the fluid plugin going, the same thing happened I described a moment ago. Raunchy sounds out of the synth plugin engine until I hit play on the transport. The xsynth plugin is a hell of a lot of fun to play with, and I sat here for a long time. I managed to crash the sequencer once, but after I restarted it separately in order to capture its errors, I never did get it to crash again after much fiddling. Right after the crash and restart, the plugin was sounding decidedly gross, no matter how it was dialed up. Hitting Play on the transport cleared it up. I don't know if that was pure coincidence or what, but thereafter it just worked. I tried playing existing compositions with a couple different patches, and I played with it using my keyboard. (I didn't think that was going to work yet.) I haven't tested the crap out of the keyboard really, but on the surface it does seem you have nailed that bug Pedro and I were talking about. BTW, I haven't looked at the audio config stuff, so I have no idea what I'm set for. Whatever you picked as the new default, I should think. Low latency mode? I'm running in userland, no RT, as of now I'm using 69% of my physical RAM (512 MB) and my load average is 1.7, with RG keeping jackd keeping the KSysGuard CPU graph floating at the top. Anyway, great work on all this. Very exciting stuff! GTK though? Why'dja use GTK for the plugin UI? It's so fugly. Bleah.
