Re: [fluid-dev] Multiple soundfonts

[Element Green]

Hello Srijan,

Yes, this is possible.

Each SoundFont loaded gets its own ID (you can specify multiple SoundFont files on the command line or issue "load" commands from the shell).  To show the list, type "fonts" and ENTER, which will show you their IDs.  The "select" command can be used to assign a SoundFont, bank and program number to a MIDI channel.  See "help event" for details, but it will essentially look like this:

select CHAN SFONT BANK PROG

Examples:

select 0 1 0 15

select 9 2 128 0

The first command above selects Bank 0 Program 15 from SoundFont 1 for MIDI channel 1 (0 based in FluidSynth).

The second command above selects Bank 128 Program 0 from SoundFont 2 for MIDI channel 10.

Best regards,

Element Green

Thanks, and yes, but how do I load piano.sf2 on channel 0 and guitar.sf2 on channel 1?

So, for example, you want to play a C on your controller and get a piano to play a C on channel 0 AND a guitar to play a C on channel 1 at the same time ?

If that's what you want, just including a routing in your config file to duplicate the input to another channel should work. Or am I oversimplifying what you want?

Hello,

I'm running fluidsynth off of the command line and I'm wondering how to load multiple soundfonts and play them simultaneously using a single controller.

The only solution I could find was to run multiple instances of fluidsynth with a different soundfont loaded in each, and map them all to the same controller using aconnect. 

Obviously, I'd prefer to do this with just one instance of fluidsynth. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Srijan
