Totally cool to be able to hear what you are talking about.

Are you sure they are all meant to be the same pitch ? The
fluidsynth notes seem to be almost a semi-tone too high. I've
got all 3 in a loop in xmms and the pitch difference is really
obvious... perhaps there's some simple off-by-one value in
there somewhere and perhaps it's effecting both the envelope
and pitch change.

There is also a stereo-ish pan and nicer delay to the timidity
sample so I suspect you did not use -EFreverb=0 -EFchorus=0 etc.
