Hello, since you are using Raspberry Pi Zero, I also suggest you to: 1) compile FluidSynth with "enable-threads" optionset to "off", or remove definition of ENABLE_MIXER_THREADS from your config.h file for disabling parallel rendering. Since the BCM2835 is a single core ARM11, having multithrea

Thanks! Yes I'm getting great results with RPi Zero, using an I2S DAC. I will look into FreeRTOS, ChibiOS, eCos. On Mon, Dec 31, 2018 at 5:50 AM Carlo Bramini wrote: > Hello! > yes, I succeded to run FluidSynth on an embedded platform. > I have built a digital piano and I used FluidSynth as a re

Hello! yes, I succeded to run FluidSynth on an embedded platform. I have built a digital piano and I used FluidSynth as a rendering engine. First of all, I would like to suggest you to read this message: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/fluid-dev/2018-11/msg00022.html with some results from

I'm working on a musical instrument that uses FluidSynth for playing SoundFonts, works great. But I'm using Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) and there's a 30-60 second boot time, so I'm looking at other platforms with sub-5-second boot time. I'm really looking to replicate the experience of hardware synths,
