Re: [fluid-dev] sf2 specification compliance and sf2 parsing/loading lim

I can't remember the exact error message, though it's something very generic like, "Failed to load soundfont." I'm still trying to narrow down the issue, but thought I'd ask to see if there were any known issues before spending any more time researching it myself. The sizes of my soundfonts vary from less than a meg to over 200 megs.

Quoting Kevin Fishburne <address@hidden>:
     I've noticed that fluidsynth fails to load particular soundfonts,
though I'm still trying to pin down why. The first things that come to
mind are that the sf2 file is too big, the sf2 file is encoded
incorrectly or is noncompliant, or that fluidsynth isn't completely
compliant with the specification.

Has anyone seen fluidsynth exhibit this behavior, and does anyone
know what the cause could be? Some of the soundfonts in question were
downloaded from various Internet sources, but most of them were
converted from Akai format sample CDs using CDXtract 4. Most of the
ones that were converted work fine, but several fail to load. I can
provide examples if necessary to reproduce the issue.

Hello Kevin,

What sort of error messages do you get, if any, when trying to load the SoundFont files in question?  Is there anything that is displayed that might help track down the issue, or is simply nothing displayed at all and it just doesn't work right?

Best regards,
Josh Green
