Hello,
I am currently using alsa 0.9rc7 with oss emulation, oss sequencer, virmidi
and ens1371. I have a ens1371 soundcard. I would like to create my own
soundfonts using smurf and play them with iiwusynth. Does anyone have some
insight into the best way to proceed with this process (workflow, devices etc
etc). I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of options there are for doing
this.
Thanks!

Using Swami (nee Smurf) is quite intuitive, so I'd say one good way to
begin is by loading a favorite font into Swami and investigating how it
(the font) gets to sound like it does. Check out its basic voice
parameters, then take a look at any keyboard mapping that may be used.
Try turning things on & off to discover what the various functions
actually do. Revise a favorite font, then save it and try loading it
into FluidSynth (nee iiwusynth). Take notes of your progress: editing
and creating your own sounds is a learning process, so you'll want to
start noting where changes in a font yield dramatic effect or where
nothing at all seems to happen (though that "nothing" may come into play
during performance, i.e., a parameter might only be effective after a
certain velocity or key range).
Another thing to do is read up on SoundFonts. I believe Josh Green has
provided plenty of that sort of info on the Swami site:
http://swami.sourceforge.net/
Above all, have fun, and when you make something nice let us know. ;)

What is this FluidSynth I hear mentioned all over, how does it relate
to iiwu, where do I get it?

Thanks David.
I downloaded Swami, and tried to build it, but got some errors (it looks like
an object file is not being linked). I sent a message about this to the
swami-devel list but have not recieved anything back. Here is a brief
snippet of make output:

Hi Levi:
I just built Swami 0.9.0 without hitting the snag you got, so I'm no
help there. I did find that Swami doesn't seem to be friendly towards
ALSA 0.9.0rc6, I had to accept AUTO for the audio driver and OSS &
/dev/midi00 for MIDI input. It didn't like /dev/snd/midiC0D0 or
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p at all. With the AUTO and OSS settings it works like a
charm. Not that that's a fat lot of help for you... :(
Btw, are you trying to build 0.9.0 or the pre1 version of Swami ?

Greetings:
Just a quick note to add that Swami 0.9.0 worked perfectly as an ALSA
sequencer client. I routed my CZ101 input from /dev/midi to the
iiwusynth port via the ALSA patch bay and I was happening...

Dave,
I will poke around my system and see what I am doing wrong when building
Swami. Thanks for helping me out and for the tip on which devices to use.
Much appreciated =)
P.S.
I am using alsa 0.9.0rc7, gcc 3.2.1 and (attempting to use) Swami 0.9.0.

^^^^^^^^^
Perhaps 0.9.0 doesn't support GCC3 yet ?
