fluidsynth VS Camomile

I'm trying to code a fix for it here: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/1282

Hello HN!

This is a Python app I've built for fun, while learning the Textual library, it's a piano/synthesizer app that you can play with the keyboard + mouse.

You can see a demo video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VXit110PcA

You need to install FluidSynth before using it: https://www.fluidsynth.org/

It uses the Python bindings pyFluidSynth library: https://github.com/nwhitehead/pyfluidsynth

There’s a ton of free synths / sound engines out there. I would start by seeing if you can integrate one of those. FluidSynth (https://www.fluidsynth.org/) is one of the more popular ones. It supports audio samples in the SoundFont format, and there’s a ton of free SoundFont sample banks out there you can find—you can find a bunch of different recommended sample banks, and my personal choice is GeneralUser GS. “GS” is a Roland extension to GM that includes additional instruments and percussion kits.

With all the programs you tried, it's hard to believe you missed Fluidsynth. Or maybe you tried it and it didn't work.

FluidSynth releases are available here: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases

They are using https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth directly on the raspberry and the bom doesn't list an extra chip.

Camomile is (still) the only thing that will do what you want. https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile

I think the first project of this kind was pdvst~ (https://github.com/jyg/PdVst). A more recent effort is Camomile (https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile).

PlugData seems to be much more extensive and flexible, though!

You can compile to vst with camomile as well, I wanted to mention.

You want Camomile: https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile

I have a different suggestion

you should definitely check Camomile by Pierre Guillot, i managed to run relatively complex patches as audio plugins through it on several DAWs just fine, with midi mapping and preset saving capabilities, however when running my synths as instrument plugins i found a couple of inconsistencies that made them kind of unreliable... i hope it gets better with future updates, if i ever get good at c++ i'd like to help with its development because it truly is an amazing work

There is a project called camomile where you can run a Pd patch as a VST with built in support for building a GUI within the patch and integration with basic DAW stuff like BPM sync.

Camomile - fairly easy way to get Pure Data patches in plugin form; incredible rabbit hole to potentially fall down if you want total control
