About

FluidSynth is a real-time software synthesizer based on the [SoundFont] 2 specifications.

Features

  • Cross platform support (Linux, Mac OSX and Windows to name a few)
  • [SoundFont] 2 support
  • Realtime effect modulation using [SoundFont] 2.01 modulators
  • Shared library which can be used in other programs
  • Built in command line shell
  • Playback of MIDI files

The Applications page has a growing list of other software which uses FluidSynth.

[MadeWithFluidSynth] is a page for users to post links to their Music and Audio creations made with [FluidSynth].


DOCUMENTATION

The [Documentation] page contains information for both users and developers on FluidSynth.

Applications

FluidSynth currently has only a command line and shell interface which comes built in. Most users will likely want to use another application which interfaces to FluidSynth and provides a more friendly GUI.
