Some soundfonts loaded incorrectly

[basic2004]

I used FluidSynth since 1.1.6, this loads these fonts incorrectly. and current develpment version too. Soundfonts are here. 'Mini Groove88ish v3', 'masquerade55' https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=46427

I saw this error, 'No preset found' with almost instruments of 'Mini Groove88ish v3' and doesn't play MIDI (or distorted), buggy pitch with some instruments (Harmonica) of 'masquerade55'.

BA*SMIDI loaded and played these correctly. (but this can use only Windows, not multi platform)

I tested two MIDI songs, W4DEBBY and TROPIC88. W4DEBBY - Easy to hearing Harmonica sound, buggy with 'masquerade55'. TROPIC88 - don't fade out when end of song. This MIDI fading down master volume. and wrong drum channel. this using drum with channel 2 and 3, 10 channel using melodic. I attach these. miditest.zip

May I ask where these MIDIs where taken from?

I had a first look at TROPIC88.mid: it uses Roland SysEx events to control the master volume, which apparently are currently not supported by fluidsynth. One would have to extend SysEx parsing at fluid_synth.c:1270 by doing something like

if(data[0] == MIDI_SYSEX_MANUF_ROLAND)
  parse_roland_sysex();

Though I'm not sure these sysex events are standardized, I would welcome a patch for this.

[TROPIC88.mid is] using drum with channel 2 and 3, 10 channel using melodic.

If it uses channel 2 and 3 for drum, the midi should just select the correct bank of the soundfont and it should work. How this is done (i.e. via CC0 XOR CC32 XOR (CC0 AND CC32)) depends on fluidsynths synth.midi-bank-select. Unfortunately channel 10 is currently hardcoded to bank 128 and cant be changed. I'm planning to fix/improve this behaviour next release.

I havent yet tested your soundfont issue, will do this later.

[basic2004]

I took TROPIC88 from here. 'Something Tropical', for SC-88. http://woodymonaco.web.fc2.com/midi/midi.html

Anomaria composed this song 20 years ago, distributed in NiftyServe (Japanese telnet BBS) he allowed this MIDI redistributing when he distributed there. I used RCP2MID, converted RCP MIDI to SMF.

Waltz for debby, this MIDI searched many internet sites, I found again from here today. http://www.mobetterblues.altervista.org/midi_jazz/e.htm

And I want compile current development version with MinGW, but I failed with "the procedure entry point g_cond_broadcast could not be located in the dynamic link library libfluidsynth.dll" without IPV6 and disabled inet_ntop like this patch. https://sourceforge.net/p/fluidsynth/tickets/134/ I saw a linker error about inet_ntop before patch.

This is an error log when execute FluidSynth in Windows(MinGW) with soundfont 'Mini Groove88ish v3'.

[derselbst]

Ok, I had a listen. Regarding distorted audio with TROPIC88 and Mini Groove88ish v3: the audio seems to clip, you may try starting fluidsynth with a lower gain:

fluidsynth --audio-driver=dsound -o synth.gain=0.05 ...

The Harmonica sound of masquerade55 is buggy indeed. I suppose this is due to the instrument being incorrectly tuned. Do you also experience this issue with BASSMIDI?

Also not sure why there are so many instrument generators discarded with the Mini Groove88ish v3.sf2. Might be due to some corruption of the file. Though I cant hear any problems. Perhabs I'll debug this on the weekend.

[basic2004]

Two soundfonts works correctly in BASSMIDI and this engine based driver, Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth too. Here, easy to testing with this MIDI file. DAAHOUD2.ZIP

Current version of FluidSynth with 'Mini Groove88ish v3' showing many errors with this MIDI file. I injected synth.gain=0.05 but this problem can't be solved. I attach this logfile errorlog.txt because... You can't comment at this time — your comment is too long (maximum is 65536 characters).

[derselbst]

Too many voices are started by this MIDI. You'll have to increase polyphony count with -o synth.polyphony=2048

[basic2004]

No, other soundfont can play with no errors without this argument (default option).

[derselbst]

I was speaking about fluidsynth: warning: Failed to allocate a synthesis process. which gets fixed by increasing polyphony.

[basic2004]

Hmm... I fixed a soundfont 'Mini Grooveish88 v3', load with SynthFont and save this soundfont as a new file. fixed 'Mini Grooveish88 v3' plays correctly and no 'Failed to allocate a synthesis process' with default option.

but, fixed 'masquerade55' has buggy harmonica sound with FluidSynth yet. 'masquerade55' with BASSMIDI plays correctly. fixed 'Mini Grooveish88 v3' with FluidSynth plays correctly too.

I upload these fixed soundfonts to dropfile.to because these are bigger than 10MB, these can download only today because these will be expire after 24 hours when upload. Mini Groove88ish v3-fix-synthfont1.sf2 masquerade55v006-fix-synthfont1.sf2

[derselbst]

Given the fact that these fixed soundfonts now have the first letter of every instrument/sample/preset name missing, I assume that also SynthFont had trouble reading them apparently due to file corruption. Hard to tell why harmonica plays at incorrect pitch.

[derselbst]

The reason because so many instrument generators get discarded with 'Mini Grooveish88 v3' is because fluidsynth expects the KeyRange to be first in a generator, followed by VelRange, etc. This not the case for the given soundfont, thus fluidsynth discards them.

Apparently BASSMIDI and VirtualMIDISynth are more permissive on this, which however is against the soundfont spec:

The keyRange enumerator is optional, but when it does appear, it must be the first generator in the zone generator list. [...] The velRange enumerator is optional, but when it does appear, it must be preceded only by keyRange in the zone generator list.

[derselbst]

Ok, I can confirm that at least the second inst. generator of Harmonica plays two semitones higher than it should. However I couldnt figure out the problem so far. The soundfont seems to be valid, fluidsynth reads it correctly and internally correctly calculates pitches. I also exported the samples and created a new soundfont from scratch but the problem persists. This really makes me believe that the samples are simply incorrectly tuned which however is not possible since it works correctly with polyphone and apparently also with the other synths you mentioned... I'm running out of ideas.

[derselbst]

minimal soundfont + test midi for further reference: masquerade55v006-fix-synthfont1_small.sf2.zip

[basic2004]

Thanks for fixing masquerade55v006's harmonica pitch but I heard no change with FluidSynth 1.1.6 and latest development version. Sorry...

MiniGrooveish's Instrument name corruption was SynthFont's problem, I loaded original soundfont and save from Polyphone, this works.

[basic2004]

Closing issue was click missed. sorry...

[derselbst]

I did not fix the pitch. Carefully read my comment pls:

However I couldnt figure out the problem so far.

[mawe42]

My guess is that it has to do with the loop points. The samples are very short (some are less than 50 sample points), so any small irregularities in loop point calculations / reading will have quite a dramatic effect on the perceived pitch. Maybe this is related to #149?

[mawe42]

It was indeed a loop problem. fixup_sample changed the start offset of some of the loops. The above pull request seems to fix it. Haven't tested it extensively though...

[derselbst]

Amazing spot! Thanks a lot!

[basic2004]

Oh! This problem is solved miraculously!!! I testing masquerade55, no more pitch breaking with harmonica sound. Non-fixed masquerade55 works too.

masquerade55 was made by Polyphone, this was not soundfont problem. Thanks, mawe42!

'Mini Groove88ish v3' was fixed(simply load and save, without modify) with Polyphone for my using, Sample, Instruments, Patch names are saved correctly. Don't worry... about this soundfont issue.

[basic2004]

And remaining issue, how to solve multi drum bank channel and control master volume (TROPIC88.MID use this for fading) this didn't solved yet.

[derselbst]

@basic2004 As mentioned before, the TROPIC88.MID controls the master volume via roland sysex events, which are not implemented in fluidsynth. I dont have the time or knowledge to implement them, I will however accept a pull request.

Regarding drum channel: You'll have to modify TROPIC88.MID by inserting a CC0 event with a value of 1 right to the start of channel 2 and 3. This will tell fluidsynth to use bank 128 (= the drum bank) on these channels. Also insert CC0 with value of 0 to the beginning of channel 10 to turn it into a melodic channel.

Get fluidsynth from recent git and start it with the

-o synth.midi-bank-select=mma

option and it should work fine.

[basic2004]

I did with latest source, and patched https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/pull/184 but this wasn't work fine. This result shows channel to 0-15, channel 1 and 2 should be drum, channel 9 should be melodic. but it wasn't well. and fluidsynth detects this MIDI to mma automatically. same result...

I'm not aware of any way that fluidsynth automatically detects this MIDI to be mma. I assume that your adapted MIDI doesnt work. See this one for how I meant it. TROPIC88_drum.MID.zip

[basic2004]

I tested again, this result shows channel 9 substituted to bank 128 (drum channel).

Really this needs Roland's SysEx, for changing bank correctly and control master volume. and this MIDI file should to load GS, this made for Roland SC-88.

[derselbst]

I tested again, this result shows channel 9 substituted to bank 128

It's a compromise now that mma mode allows bank changes where it was previously hardcoded to bank 128. Internally channel 9 is still treated as a drum channel. If the requested preset and bank combination is not found it falls back to bank 128 because of being a drum channel.

Just make sure the requested preset and bank exists in the soundfont, either by adjusting the soundfont or modifying your MIDI to request something from bank 0 for instance.

However, seeing that this seems to cause confusions, I'm thinking about getting back to hardcoded drumbank, since you could also let channel 10 play on e.g. chan 16 and merge channels 2 and 3 to channel 10... which might be the easier solution.

Really this needs Roland's SysEx, for changing bank correctly and control master volume.

Dont mix things up. Roland's SysEx is only needed for controlling master volume. They may do some configuration with the drumchannels, but they are not required for fluidsynth.

[basic2004]

Sorry but I mix things up. Roland GS mapping drum channels by SysEx. Rhythm parts assigned to system, maximum 2 rhythm parts on SOUND Canvas.

1st to 6th characters are, F0 41 10 42 12 40 is almost use to sending GS SysEx. 7th character, this means channel when this value is 10-1F. 10 is channel 10, 11-19 are channel 1-9, 1A -1F are channel 11-16. 8th character, 15 means mapping drum channel. 9th character, this is value, this means mapping/releasing. 01 is map to 1st rhythm part, 02 is map to 2nd rhythm part. 00 is release (to melodic part).

I found changing master volume and other SysEx from http://www.bandtrax.com.au/sysex.htm

7th and 8th character 0004 to control master volume 9th character is value, changing to 0-127(00-7f).

in tropic88.mid, these SysEx contained. F0 41 10 42 12 40 12 15 01 18 F7 // map 2ch to drum part 1 F0 41 10 42 12 40 13 15 02 16 F7 // map 3ch to drum part 2 F0 41 10 42 12 40 10 15 00 1B F7 // release 10ch to melodic

[derselbst]

Ok, so it seems what Roland does here is to configure the type of these channels, pretty similar to what can be achieved with fluid_synth_set_channel_type(). Again: Doing this via SysEx is currently not implemented and I dont see that this is required for fluidsynth, though it might be the most correct way to do configure drum and melodic channels. You still have the two alternative ways as described earlier:

• manually merge channels 2 and 3 to channel 10
• select the soundfont banks of these channels via MMA mode

[basic2004]

I'll wait until FluidSynth supports Roland's Sysex later. Maybe when I tell about these next time I'll make a new thread. Thanks for solving soundfont's issue.
