Re: [fluid-dev] Questions about fluidsynth API

[George Poulson]

Can you explain some more about what hardware you are using? 

If you have a midi keyboard connected to a Raspberry Pi and are running fluidsynth then you should be able to hear the audio corresponding to pressing keys on the keyboard. 

Do you have this working already? If not then can you use fluidsynth to play a midi file? Does this sound OK?

If you can play individual notes on the keyboard but cannot play chords (multiple notes at the same time) then could this be a limitation of the keyboard you are using?

None of this is really related to the fluidsynth API so you should really have started a new post, but with some more information there should be someone here to help you.

George.

Hello, fluid-dev team,

 

I’d like to use your API system to run a MIDI-like software (to run a homemade giant piano).

 

At first, I used a MIDI board directly linked to an Arduino, but now, I want to use a raspberry pi board to add some new features, and I’m facing a huge problem : if I press 2 keys almost simultaneously, there is only one of them which is played (all sounds are supposed to out on MIDI channel 0). I have tried to reduce synth gain, as it seemed to change something on it, according to what I understood on the reference, but it does not seems to change anything…

Is there any way to change this ? Thank you very much.
