Re: [fluid-dev] fluid_event_noteon() on channel 9 under winxp

[Stephen Grant]

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was trying to get an open cymbal 
sound
using the sequencer, and none of them worked using the SONiVOX.sf2 font 
(258mb).
(They all sound like a very short closed high hat sound)
Now I now realize the problem is not the sequencer, and possibly not even 
Fluidsynth.
Contrary to my earlier statement, the open cymbal sounds (MIDI drumkit #'s 
44,46,
49,51,52,53,55,57, 59) do not work using either fluid_event_noteon() or
fluid_synth_noteon() with SONiVOX, although all other instrument and drumkit 
instruments
are fine. Also, these cymbal sounds are fine using the default font 
CT4MGM.sf2.
However, the SONiVOX cymbal sounds are correct using the Creative Sound Font
Bank Manager. Could there be a problem with how Fluidsynth deals with large 
fonts?
I am stumped as to why only the cymbal sounds would be a problem.
thanks
