Thanks for the pointer - I'm going to look at Timidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) and FluidSynth as well as BASSMidi. It looks like whichever library I end up using, I'll have to do some work to expose the library to Python (either CTypes or SWIG). And yeah, the better soundfonts are big, but they're still a big savings when you compare MIDI to MP3 or OGG, especially if you have a lot of music that can use the same soundfont. -Dave LeCompte
