5 years ago FluidSynth is a real-time sample based software synthesizer. FluidSynth plays midi's files using so called sound fonts (with extension .sf2)
https://trisamples.com/free-soundfonts/ A popular allround soundfont is Fluid R3 GM
Thanks to Wim Vree who made modifications to FluidSynth and provided a working python binding we will have FluidSynth integration in EasyABC as of 1.3.7.8. No more need to use an external player.
You can enable the FluidSynth player by specify a valid soundfont in Settings -> Abc Settings -> File Settings
You can find a Windows DLL and a Ubuntu binary in the following location: https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/testplayer.html It needs to be in the same folder as easy_abc.py / EasyABC.exe
So far it has been tested with Windows 10.
I have fixed the ImportError by the way.
Hi, I'm trying to run the source code, but I'm getting the error "ImportError: Couldn't find the FluidSynth library in the program directory." It looks like FluidSynth is a dependency that has been added since the last release of EasyABC on SourceForge. Can I get a certain DLL from somewhere? Or should I use an older version of the source code? (I'm not clear what FluidSynth does, was it suppose to fix something or add a new feature?) Thanks!
