New subject: [linux-audio-user] Re: *UPDATE* MIDI exported from Cakewalk sounds horrible!

4 May 2005

FYI -- I have a couple of songs originally written in Cakewalk Pro-Audio
9 that I have imported into Rosegarden to output the tracks through
Fluid-synth and various soundfonts.  Some of the tracks sound fine, such
as the piano and bass tracks.  However, the lead guitar track, going
through Fluid Synth and a Sonic Implants soundfont, sounds horribly out
of tune whenever more than a single note is played at one time.  I got
around the problem by sending the guitar track to ZynAddSubFX instead of
Fluidsynth.  This leads to to believe that it is fluid-synth specific,
but I haven't done any more digging into the problem to look at specific
events that might be causing the problem.

 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!
