Further to this, I propose a change to the bank number handling. While I already saw some changes under way to use MSB or LSB or both depending on the MIDI standard, I think it's better to combine the approach. Since SoundFont hardware devices expect the bank change commands to only be in the

Hello Tashi, My guess is that your device does not have a floating point unit (FPU). FluidSynth makes heavy use of floating point math, so your device is probably emulating all the instructions, which is very very slow. There has been talk from time to time on implementing integer based (fixed p
