Hi,

It showed that fluid-soundfont-gm and fluid-soundfont-common were already installed. I only had to add fluid-soundfont-gs.

I also found this page:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-midi-audio-on-fedora-with-fluidsynth/103401

It tells me that the command "fluidsynth -is" is used to verify if it is up and runing.
This command returns:

fluidsynth: error: Failed to bind server socket: 98
Failed to create the server.
Continuing without it.
fluidsynth: warning: Failed to set thread to high priority
fluidsynth: warning: Failed to set thread to high priority

After googling this warning, I found this page:
https://jackaudio.org/faq/linux_rt_config.html

I created the file audio.conf with this content:
@audio   -  rtprio     95
@audio   -  memlock    unlimited

and added my userid to the (existing) group "audio"

I'll have to reboot to verify if this helps.

Ben

I installed fluidsynh and QSynth but never heard of the fluidsynth
soundfiles?

FluidSynth and QSynth use soundfont files, I believe (at least on my
machine [Ubuntu] they do).  I use "GeneralUser's" soundfont files which I
get from here:

https://schristiancollins.com/generaluser.php

Installing them requires you to do some command line work; unfortunately
there is no "installer."  Try searching with the keywords "soundfont file
linux installing".

I would search your distribuition's archive first; for example,
Debian provides fluid-soundfont-gm, fluid-soundfont-gs and
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont in the archive. For those, you can
therefore use your normal installer.

Cheers,
David.
