Michael McIntyre OK, I found the package here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/fluid-soundfont-gm/download I installed the .deb, but I'm not sure what it actually does. I have to learn more about how sounfonts work. Does the .deb create a .sf2 file I can load into Fluidsynth/Qsynth? I've tried opening Qsynth and the FluidSynth DSSI plugin, but I can't find a soundfont to load. Over the past few days, I've experimented with what you talked about in your original response. I found I could record my voice to an audio track and play it back. Also, I could assign MIDI tracks to Hexter, Trivial Synth, and Less Trivial Synth, and get some sound. So, I guess it's some problem with TiMidity. Weird how it worked before, then just stopped working. XMMS can still play MIDI files with TiMidity. I'm glad you're still willing to entertain these kinds of questions despite being annoyed when they come up repeatedly. Next time I'll spend more time with the documentation before asking.

Thanks, Paul Can you play a MIDI file with the timidity-interfaces-extra package? I've got a Gutsy installation that won't play any MIDI sound at all except through that application. (I'm pretty sure that's a meaningful clue in a troubleshooting analysis for my machine, but it's not my main computer Hardy's coming so soon that it doesn't seem worth wrestling with.) Just a thought. :) --Ray -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

I've tried opening Qsynth and the FluidSynth DSSI plugin, but I can't find a soundfont to load. Point your synth to the files in /usr/share/sounds/sf2. There is FluidR3_GM.sf2 (for GM), and FluidR3_GS.sf2 (with the GS extensions). At some point in the future, I'll have this integrated more. A step forward has been made in my package in Debian, which installs example timidity configurations in /usr/share/doc/fluid-soundfont, but I'd like to be able to install them to a /etc/timidity/cfg.d directory and have them automagically picked up. I'm working on it! Over the past few days, I've experimented with what you talked about in your original response. I found I could record my voice to an audio track and play it back.

Weird how it worked before, then just stopped working. XMMS can still play MIDI files with TiMidity. Timidity uses Freepats by default, and requires (a reasonable amount of) extra configuration to work with Fluid. FluidSynth, via QSynth, is a lot easier at this point in time.
