thanks for the reply.
would be interested in some nice sound fonts, in the past i have had
problems with there key mapping and thus been unusable. but if there is a
movement towards there usage, i would be interested. i get most crashes with
ardour but i don't think that is the cause of timidity's instability.

Hi!
Fluidsynth 1.0.8 is stable. Josh applied a lot of patches and fixes, as I
seem to remember. All you need is soundfonts. But with full midiplayback I
always noticed, that fluidsynth uses more CPU.
Which version of timidity are you running? I'm running 2.13.2 for a long
time now and it is stable. I use JACK only.
If you want to rely on gigasamples you can also use LinuxSampler and its
graphical frontend jsampler or qsampler. But there aren't as many free
gagisamples as there are soundfonts.
regarding timidity: Tell me which version of timidity, which distro
you're running and your jack-version, please. Maybe it helps. For timidity
shouldn't crash.
Kindest regards
Julien
