[fluid-dev] Re: installing fluidsynth + midishare on Mac OS X

[Joe Corneli]

Well, I can play single notes, get no complaint about the absence of
midi support, so I think it is working.   Nice sound quality too!

Only thing is that 

% clavier -o - | fluidsynth VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2

doesn't seem to produce sound.  In fact, fluidsynth doesn't seem to
be reading the midi output of clavier in real time.  What I saw
after typing into clavier and then typing "quit" into fluidsynth was
the following:

> quit
quit
unknown command: 
%<E<%;<A<E;A%<E<%;<EA<;AA<A.<..<..<..<..<.%<%E<EE<E%<%.<..<..<..<.7<7.<..<.%<E<%;<EA<;A'</<'><.</>.7<7
 (try help)
> [~]% 

Seems kind of weird.  Anyone else want to give clavier a shot and
see if they can make it work with fs?

In the mean time, I think I can make an emacs mode that will send
appropriate noteon commands to an inferior fluidsynth process to
make music.  This should be fun...

Also wanted to mention: I just noticed one potential bug in the
help:

noteon chan key vel        Send noteon
                ^^^
should that be "vol"?
