Hello Peter, I often reflect on how unfortunate it is for the MMA to operate as such. I reflected on that years ago when I was adding DLS2 support to Swami. This format would have likely been a lot more popular if the specification was more open, such as what Creative Labs did with SoundFont. A

The only defined controls I see for reverb and chorus are for Reverb send and Chorus send (CC 91 and 93). That could be used sensibly for reverb and chorus send levels. That still leaves Reverb room size, damping, and width. With chorus it leaves the number of voices, speed, depth and type. Othe

Hello Ien, No, the APIs work fine and so do the related shell commands for setting these parameters. What I was clarifying is that there are no embedded MIDI commands (to my knowledge) for setting the reverb/chorus parameters (depth, frequency, etc) in a MIDI stream. There aren't any MIDI standa

Hi Element - I'm surprised to hear there isn't support for reverb/chorus settings. Does that mean e.g. reverb settings api call doesn't do anything by design at the moment? If so, is there any way (other than

Hello, FluidSynth follows the MIDI Tuning Standard in regards to SYSEX command data. I'm not real familiar with this myself, but a quick search on the Internet for "MIDI Tuning Sysex" should bring up some useful info. As far as setting chorus and reverb parameters parameters (beyond just the sen
