Please have a look at: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/SYNTH/synth.html Here you'll find a MIDI file of a bigband song and the MP3s produced by: - Hardware synthesis - TiMidity synthesis and - FluidSynth synthesis All 3 used the same soundfont (8mbgmsfx.sf2). All three are sampled 44100 Hz You'll find that only the Hardware synthesis sounds like a bigband. BTW: This example also illustrates the effect of the "attacking" strings in FluidSynth. The strings are practically inaudible. -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
