No, Tom simply said that in version 1.x, the MIDI messages
coming from a MIDI file cannot be filtered by the router. But
this lack of functionality has been recently added in git repo
master.
So, to fix your initial issue (using your first attemp which is
the only one correct), there are 2 solutions:
1) if you want your MIDI file messages filtered by the router
(using the router rules given by Tom), you need to use version
2.0 (master). (clone or tar from git, than build
(cmake,make,..)).
2) if you want to stay with version 1.x, you need to edit your
MIDI file and remove all the prog,bank change MIDI messages
incompatible with your select command parameters (chan, prog,
bank).
Hope you will choose (1).
Thank you for the information.
So I chose (1) :-) But I was very lazy, and ignored the instructions
on https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/blob/master/README-OSX,
mostly because I don't want to install another package manager
(fink), in case it messes up the one I already use (macports). So I
built fluidsynth (without checking the dependencies - very lazy!).
please let me know if this is a likely cause of the problems I
describe below.
$ git clone address@hidden:FluidSynth/fluidsynth.git
$ cd fluidsynth/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build/
$ cmake ..
$ make

Can I now run fluidsynth2 direct from the command line using
`src/fluidsynth` - will it pick up the correct libraries/Frameworks?
If the answer is NO: can you tell me what I need to do to install in
my home directory? - I don't want to risk overwriting stuff in
system directories.
If the answer is YES - (and only if the answer is YES!) - then read
on, and I'll attempt to describe how this is not (quite) working for
me....
Running `src/fluidsynth' seems to work for fast-rendering directly
to a WAV file, but not for playing the audio directly (I get pages
of Jack errors). Do I need to sort these errors out before
proceeding, or should it be OK, to continue to use it only for
fast-rendering?
I prepared the fluidsynth config file according to Tom M.'s
instructions (I hope):

... and genererated audio (note the output from the `channels

Rendering audio to file '../../Test.wav'..
However, when listening back to the audio, I'm not getting Cello
(from sfont 2) on channel 4/5 or Finger bass (from sfont 1) on
channel 6/7.
What I'm getting sounds like 'Yamaha C5 Grand' on every channel.
Of course, the above output from `channels -verbose` is generated
/before/ my midi file is loaded.
I can't find detailed documentation in order to understand what
these router commands are doing - perhaps Tom M. was giving an
illustration, rather than a complete solution?
All the best, Matt.
All the best.
