I haven't tried SoundFont files in TiMidity++ for a while (last time I
tried, I gave up). I did see a nice TiMidity HOWTO by Takashi Iwai at:
http://www.boosthardware.com/LAU/guide/TiMidity-howto.html
You've probably seen this no? It would be cool to do a comparison of
SoundFont support in available soft synths: iiwusynth, TiMidity++,
CSound, others? I've really only seen iiwusynth in action. I'm curious
as to whether any of the other ones support real time effects or
modulators like iiwusynth does. If you were interested in this type of
information I could do some research myself :)
I'm assuming you've probably already tried iiwusynth, since you
mentioned compiling Swami.
