i haven't found an option for fluidsynth that writes directly to a

midi file in a fraction of its real time duration. but timidity has
some bugs when using soundfonts, so i wanted to try fluidsynth. after
searching the documentation, i was under the impression that fluidsynth
only knows how to output to the soundcard in real time, which is a
pity. for me at least that makes it useless. i think it would be a good
idea if the developers considered the possibility of including output
to a file.
Hi luis,
Agree++.
Meanwhile I continue to record MIDI files played in realtime from
Fluidsynth (QSynth actually) into ecasound via JACK.
Btw, I think TiMidity ignores performance characteristics of soundfonts.
I stopped using it as you described because the same fonts were rendered
differently than in QSynth/Fluidsynth.
Best,
dp
