Hello,
could you please add a running or loading mode to load an sf2 completely into
memory?
The goal is that program changes (and bank?) get rid of the load hiccups and
the new sound is available in an instant.
It already is loaded completely into memory. It tries to lock it too, so
it does not get swapped out.
(If you get the message "Failed to pin sample data to RAM, swapping is
possible" warning, you know it failed.)
Any hiccups you might get would be related to CPU bound activities
happening at program/bank changes, but these should not cause underruns
if priorities are set right; possibly delays to midi events coming after.
Is this Windows or Linux, btw? I don't know the Windows parts very well.

Linux.
Then maybe it is a different issue? Does fluidsynth make sure that program
changes (and CCs etc.) which happen on the same tick/time value or are received
at the same time (via the lib) as note ons always come first?
My problem is that if I send a program change and the first note at the same
time the first note plays back with the old program, either program 0 on
program start or if fluidsynth kept running in between the current channel
program.
