Is it possible that Timidity does not sound quite as clean as the hardware version because you have it's effects on by default ? To compare Timidity you really need to -EFreverb=0 -EFdelay=0 -EFchorus=0 I've been tempted to hack Timidity to have sane defaults and to accept stdin.. and to not use less for paging the help. > BTW: This example also illustrates the effect of the > "attacking" strings in FluidSynth.

These and your other examples indicate this obnoxious attack and again, it sounds nearly a semi-tone too high. BTW how did you record the output from the SBlive to wav ? --markc
