If you're just after a Rhodes sound, I've found the jRhodes3 soundfont (played through fluidsynth with some JACK Rack effects) to be very playable:   http://www.learjeff.com/sf/sf.html

You can pull it to the correct pitch with the pitch bender. I stick a piece of paper besides the wheel to block it to the correct position - it's just within range :-)

Yes, it sounds amazing. Unfortunately the soundfont is @ 44.1kHz while my USB audio card always runs @ 48kHz. As fluidsynth does currently not resample it, I get a depitched Rhodes sound :( .

IS this new one updated for that? If so it would be grat. It had some very good sounds but was semi-hard to tie into my system.

After minor hacking of the makefile to get it to build on x86_64, the build script finishes with no problems. When running, with oss or alsa output, and any other options i've tried i get spawning midi thread Could not reschedule thread to 2 parent going into idle loop flags (2) 0a000000 midi sequencer Problem with bind Could not open control listening socket: 0 No controlling socket available: anticipating MIDI Error opening control device, exiting midi thread connected to :0 (5e5430) display is 1280 by 1024 pixels Window is w 1280, h 1024, d 24, 0 0 0 Using DirectColor display masks are ff0000 ff0000 ff0000 Initialise the hammondB3 link to bristol: 5ea200 starting upper manual connection hostname is localhost, bristol port is 5028 connfailed opening link to engine: -1 hostname is localhost, bristol port is 5028 connfailed cleanupBristol(-4) Seems like a problem in the slab socket stuff from a brief look into it. Ignoring cflags in the make is also somewhat annoying. I'd love to have the b3 working. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks Loki
