I used to use Cakewalk on a small Windows

Cakewalk and play them using rosegarden/fluidsynth/pmidi.
My songs sounds like a cacophony. Things are so wrong - it sounds
truely horrible.
Interesting update - this must be a bug in fluidsynth somewhere.
I just bought a new GM digital piano and it's banks interpret the MIDI
data fine - the songs sound correct. It seems like my guess about
SysEx (or some other kind of) data being interpreted as note events.
Do any of you guys that said you had seen the same problem have some
MIDI hardware to test on? I'd be curious to see if you hit the same
thing. Would be worth a bug report on fluidsynth.
Thanks, let me know!
Fluidsynth has problems. _Any_ compiler optimization flags cause problems, and
even when compiled correctly, the chorus and reverb cause it to produce
nothing but NAN garbage for the output. Quite honestly, you're better off
using timidity to load the soundfount.
