[fluid-dev] repeating a note with the sustain pedal active cuts off the previous note

Re: [fluid-dev] fluidsynth tremolo (modulation)

You can set up a modulator in the SoundFont to route a MIDI CC to the mod LFO volume, which will create a tremolo effect. However, as with the vibrato, this effect is aligned independently with the start of each note, which is not usually the effect you want for an organ, where a single tremolo

SoundFont synths that I have used over the years (such as the EMU10K1 synths) seem to put the default reverb at 0. Personally, I think this is preferred. I think reverb (like chorus) is one of those settings that should be left at 0 unless the musician specifically wants to add it to a channe

Re: [fluid-dev] rendering to file cuts off last note

I always do a CC 64 set to 0 a measure or two after the final note--that way, not only does the final note get to ring out, but any reverb still lingering gets captured in the recording. -~Chris David Henningsson wrote: Peter Bartjens skrev: Your suggestion that the midi file might have s

Re: [fluid-dev] two questions

Tizo, Regarding transposing a channel, have you tried Qmidiroute? I have used Qmidiroute when performing live to send different areas of the keyboard to different channels, and you can transpose not only notes, but controllers as well. You can also do sound layering this way. And... I can'

[fluid-dev] Sostenuto CC 66

I noticed that the Sostenuto pedal (CC 66) doesn't seem to be implemented in FluidSynth, unless I'm missing something. I think this feature should definitely be implemented at some point. Do you all agree? -~Chris ___ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-de

[fluid-dev] Bug report with test SoundFont

Dear FluidSynth developers, I have discovered three FluidSynth bugs, and have worked up a report including a custom SoundFont for testing and audio examples. I thought it would be best for starters to deliver it all as one package, since they all rely on the same test SoundFont. I know I'm s
