I'm trying to put together a custom (and quite complicated) timidity.cfg, taking my favorite voices from 7 or 8 different soundfonts and putting them into one GM sound bank like so:
bank 0 0 %font fluidR3.sf2 0 0 # Acoustic Grand 1 %font fluidR3.sf2 0 1 # Bright Acoustic 2 %font free_time.sf2 0 2 # Honky-tonk 3 %font conexant_500gm.sf2 0 3 # Electric Grand 4 %font fluidR3.sf2 0 4 # Elec. Piano 1 ...etc, you get the idea. When timidity parses the above cfg file, it loads each soundfont in the order of the instruments that require it, starting with 0 all the way to 127. The problem I'm running into is that timidity will only load each soundfont once, and since it's loading numerically in sequence, a soundfont used for voice 0 and 1 will not be used again for voice 4 if it is not also used for voice 2 and 3. In other words, if a midi file uses all five instruments in the above cfg, timidity will refuse to use fluidR3.sf2 for the voice 4 because it already stopped loading voices from fluidR3.sf2 after voice 1 and began loading from the other specified soundfonts. It will instead use conexant_500gm.sf2 for voice 4 because that was the last soundfont loaded. This is frustrating because my instrument choices do not occur neatly in sequence. Does anybody have an idea for how I might work around this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Timidity-talk mailing list Timidity-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/timidity-talk
