Hi all!

First of all: Thank you for fluid_synth-1.0.4-1. From time to
time I try this software to test its usability for my
program NoteEdit:

  http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html

Time ago I posted a little critism to this list concerning
the strings rendering and the overall sound quality.

Now with fluid_synth-1.0.4-1 the quality is much better than
with fluid_synth-1.0.3. The sound differs from hardware synthesis and 
the TiMidity++ generator. But it sounds good and gives very
interesting new sounds.

The problem is: Some instruments seem to be much too silent.

Have a look at:

  http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/FLUID/fluidtest.html

Here you find a MIDI file and 3 MP3s:

        - hardware rendering
        - fluidsynth rendering
        - timidity rendering

As you can hear TiMidity is close to hardware rendering.
FluidSynth rendering differs but is very interesing,
but the piano is much too silent. The problem is: If I
accept this I have to produce always 3 different scores:

        1. for FluidSynth
        2. for all others

Pershaps it is a small bug.(?) Because the MIDI file
is at this page, too and because I use the free
FuidR3 soundfont from http://www.hammersound.org
you are able to find this small problem.(?)
