[fluid-dev] pausing the sequencer

[Jeroen Neve]

Hello all,

 

I am new to the FluidSynth API, perhaps I just overlooked the option, but…

 

Is there a method to pause the sequencer?

 

Use-case scenario:

I want to feed the sequencer Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto to render to file.

I don’t know how long it will take to queue up all the events.

 

Can I pause the sequencer, send all the required messages, and then restart it so there won’t be a “buffer underrun” where the sequencer overtakes the main application.

Or is there another mechanism to prevent this?

 

Regards,
