Re: [fluid-dev] Fluidsynth reverb settings

[S. Christian Collins]

I don't know if this helps, but these are the reverb values I use for 
Fluidsynth and I am quite happy with the sound.  Now, I have set these 
values in Qsynth, so I am not sure if the numbers are different in 
Fluidsynth:

Room: 65
Damp: 18
Width: 76
Level: 75

From there, you can adjust the room level to the size of the room you 
desire.  65 gives a hall effect, 75 a large hall, and 89 a really 
spacious hall.  Of course, to really hear the effect, you will need to 
adjust CC 91 to increase the reverb for each MIDI channel.  Some presets 
may incite a bit of reverb already even if CC 91 is set to 0, depending 
on how the preset is programmed inside the SoundFont bank.
