Re: [fluid-dev] question - soundfont editing

[David McNab]

Hi Tim,

Sorry to bother you again, but there's a slight problem with your SF2 
python module.

If the soundfont file I write out contains one or more drum presets, 
'asfxload' spits an error 'loop size is too short: 0' when I try to load 
the font into my sblive card. However, fluidsynth loads it in fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers
David
