Hi all, I am the developer of Piano Booster and I have written some instructions on how to start fluidsynth see this link.
http://pianobooster.sourceforge.net/faq.html#how-do-i-hear-the-sound-on-linux-ubuntu However I cannot get fluidsynth to run with zero/low latency. I estimated the latency delay is about 100msec. I can hear a delay when I play on the Piano which is always a bad sign. I do not get a noticeable delay when I play using an external synth. See this link for more info on my set-up. http://n2.nabble.com/Poll---What-system-are-you-running--td2595879.html Please tell me what I have to do to get fluidsynth to run as close to real time as possible so that I can improve the instructions on the PianoBooster web site. Please bear in mind that PianoBooster also uses the CPU fairly heavily and that I and other users are using a netbook which sits on top of the piano nicely so we also want reduce fluidsynth CPU usage (as well as Piano Booster CPU usage). Do you have an examples page for non technical users on how to run fluid synth? If there is not one, may I suggest it would be very useful addition. Thanks L o u i s J a m e s B a r m a n PianoBooster is a MIDI file player that teaches you how to play the piano. see: http://pianobooster.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
