It's a little bit hidden, but it exists, try: fluidsynth -i -a file <soundfount> <midifile> you can optionally specify an output-filename with -o audio.file.name=name.raw The output of fluidsynth is raw-data - so if you need .wav, use sox to convert the raw data to wave - for default fluidsynth output this would look like this: sox -r 44100 -w -c 2 -s fluidsynth.raw fluidsynth.wav Enjoy :) Nicolai
