Meanwhile I found the same happens with FluidR3 soundfont. And this soundfont is freely available. Please have at look at the end of http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/DROP/gap.html There you find the sound of 2 tied whole notes created by the hardware synthesis, TiMidity, and FluidSynth on basis of FluidR3 soundfont. Again: FluidSynth creates "attacking" (and very silent) strings. I also added the MIDI file. Do you really get different results with FluidR3 soundfont and FluidSynth ? -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
