Re: [fluid-dev] CC7 reset

[James Ong]

I tried as 3 separate rules and launch Java MIDI player to play midi song, none of the sounds appear to be softer.

Am I doing something wrong? I didn't issue "router_clear" which will caused all channels to appear silent when the song is play.

router_begin cc
router_par1 7 7 1 0
router_par2 0 60 0 60
router_end 

and

router_begin cc
router_par1 7 7 1 0
router_par2 0 60 0 127
router_end 

and

router_begin cc
router_par1 7 7 1 0
router_par2 0 127 0 60
router_end

If your MIDI song itself contains a CC7 event you could perhaps filter
it with the FluidSynth MIDI router:
router_begin cc
router_par1 7 7 1 0
router_par2 0 127 0 127
router_end

I think that would cause all CC 7 events received to set the volume to
100% (127).

That was my thinking as well.  The downside is that, to be on the safe side, it appears you should first issue a router_clear command and rebuild the 1:1 mapping from scratch, excluding CC7 (and CC39, as I believe main volume is a 14-bit controller).

At this point, you can either add a new CC7 rule or just "set it and forget it."

Fortunately, there's only note, cc, prog, pbend, cpress, and kpress, so it's not like it takes thousands of lines.  Still, it sure would be nice to be able to issue a command like "router_clear cc".

If the MIDI song has a MIDI reset command in it, then I'm not real sure how to handle that off hand.

Generally speaking, that should *never* happen, however, AFAIK, the majority of "hardware" synths handle it by ignoring it. :)  On a linux system, I might bang out a quick-and-dirty filter to interpose between fluidsynth and the event source (the ALSA sequencer API makes this easy), but darned if I know what to do with windows.
