Issues with fluidsynth

Dear Karim and OM Hivemind,

I recently installed fluidsynth and unfortunately I have no sound despite following instructions here: FLUIDSYNTH AND OM | OpenMusic, as well as running OM 7.6.

I attach screenshots below.

Any idea what the issue could be?

Very much appreciated,
Brandon



Dear Brandon,

Sorry my bad. If you’ve noticed in your first screenshot, fluidsynth is pointing on my path instead of yours. So it can’t find the sf2 file. The best is to download it from here:

put it wherever you want, and then set this path in the preferences. This should make it work.

Tell me if this works for you.

Best
K
