No loading fluidsoundfont

Post by saturnin51 »

Hi,

I have this issue for ages. When I want to use the Fluidsynth, I can load any soundfont. I have the FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3, default-GM.sf" etc

Presumably you mean "can not load any soundfont". How are you trying to load it? Qsynth, Calf Fluidsynth? Plugin or standalone? What location is the soundfont?
I tried the FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3 in Fluida plugin and it works fine, and also have .sf2 soundfonts working well in Qsynth standalone. I'm not sure the old .sf soundfonts are supported.

Can you load an .sf2 soundfont such as the SalamanderC5-Lite, Grand Piano SoundFont (SF2 version) from here - https://sites.google.com/view/hed-sound ... r-c5-light ? It's only a 10.7MB download and sounds OK even compared to the >700MB standard Salamander Piano.

I think he might be using our own FluidSynth MESS plugin.
Are you sure that's SF3? I didn't know the FluidR3 comes in SF3 format now, does it?
SF3 is a format created by Muse Score.
Several months ago I included support for SF3. They should load in our MESS FluidSynth plugin.
Maybe your MusE version is too old?

Let me know if that's true and any further info you can give.

Oops, sorry, I didn't notice this post was in the MuSE section. I downloaded that mentioned SF3 soundfont from a Muse Score Github page so I guess it is actually SF3.

I use the Fluidsynth Mess plugin. For a time I loaded the Fluid3Mono_GM.sf3 located into /usr/Share/fluid3mono-gm-soundfont.

I try with others fonts into /usr/share/sounds .sf2 or .sf3 with not result for almost. Finally Default-GM.sf3 loads. It is the only one that I can load.
