Anyone using fluidsynth successfully yet?

Where (apart from the directory tree boot/beos/etc/synth) does fluidsynth look for SoundFont files during midi playback??

I have tried several *.sf2 files in the directory above but MidiPlayer doesn’t produce any sound when a midi file is dropped on the player. It DOES look like someting is happening as the cpu loads-up a little during (what I imagine to be) playback.

Anybody give me the low-down on what I’m doing wrong?

Ta! :o)

Yeah! You need to rename whatever soundfont file you’re using to big_synth.sy, this will then become the bank that Fluidsynth is looking for. :lol:
