Description
FluidSynth is a real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications. It is a "software synthesizer". FluidSynth can read MIDI events from the MIDI input device and render them to the audio device. It features real-time effect modulation using SoundFont 2.01 modulators, and a built-in command line shell. It can also play MIDI files (note: FluidSynth was previously called IIWU Synth).
Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
