Ryan: I don't have the soundfont you mentioned, but I played it using the FluidR3_GM.sf2 soundfont, via pmidi, both using my soundblaster card, and also with qsynth (fluidsynth).
Both of the playbacks sounded good to me. However, I am using a PPA version of libfluidsynth1 from David Henningson (one of the developers), and I no longer have the version I got with Ubuntu 12.04, because it wouldn't play my more complex pieces either. I tried it with the soundblaster card because it never had the problem fluidsynth has had in the prior, and current, Ubuntu Linux release. I am wondering if you have run into the same thing I ran into with the Ubuntu 12.04 release version of fluidsynth, where it fills up the available polyphony, and begins dropping notes (or playing new notes for only a short time). Once in that mode, it remains in that bad mode until you restart fluidsynth (qsynth). If it is that problem, it has been fixed in the just-released version of fluidsynth. If you could describe more precisely the way the sound wasn't good to listen to, I might be able to recognize if it is the same problem I encountered. - Aere On Mon, 2012-08-20 at 14:46 +0700, Ryan Bramantya wrote: > Greetings, > > > > My name is Ryan, and I am a MIDI listener.
