Re: [LAU] Fluidsynth, soundfonts, jack, and latency

jurgen wrote: No, I haven't, as of yet.... This is because it wasn't clear to me whether this is an OS issue. The tricky thing here is that I changed 2 major things at the same time: the OS, and the way Qsynth was utilised (as in, 3 engines instead of 1, many more soundfonts, some never tried before, sometimes 3 running concurrently, in the backdrop of heavy CPU usage). And I've noticed this new phenomenon, and don't know which change to attribute it to. OTOH, even if the OS is doing something in the background and causing the delay, isn't the onus of at least reporting it (as an xrun/lost note/dropped packet... sorry, don't know the right term) upon the application (in this case, qjackctl/qsynth)? One more thing: I noticed that with 3 qsynth engines running together, not all would show up in the qjackctl connections window at startup. I'd have to restart 1 or more, and this was a dicey thing: sometimes happens, sometimes doesnt, for the same setup, upon restarting the jack server. Which is why I'm a little more suspicious about the apps rather than the OS... but I am open about this. If it is a good idea, then I will check on the AVLinux forums as well. Cheers, Guru
