Re: [fluid-dev] Using multiple soundfonts from unix command line

I Matt,

>I just want to check my understanding here: Are you saying that playing  midi files won't work (in fluidsynth version 1) ?

No, Tom simply said that in version 1.x, the MIDI messages coming from a MIDI file cannot be filtered by the router. But this lack of functionality has been recently added in git repo master.

So, to fix your initial issue (using your first attemp which is the only one correct), there are 2 solutions:

1) if you want your MIDI file messages filtered by the router (using the router rules given by Tom), you need to use version 2.0 (master). (clone or tar from git, than build (cmake,make,..)).

2) if you want to stay with version 1.x, you need to edit your MIDI file and remove all the prog,bank change MIDI messages incompatible with your select command parameters (chan, prog, bank).

Hope you will choose (1).

All the best.

If you need it now, you'll have to check out the source code from our git repo and build fluidsynth from source.
