Re: [fluid-dev] Play non-soundfont audio files, for one-shots, movie quotes, etc

Hello

> But once in a while I want to add a single audio file to play, like a movie quote (for example) or a simple one-shot sound that does not warrant building a sound font.

 

 

If the question is "does Fluidsynth synthesizer are able to play a sound without any soundfont file", the answer is "no".

Fluidsynth being a SF2 synthesizer plays sound samples coming from SF2 soundfont. If the sample is defined to be played as a one shot (not lopped), Fluidsynth will play it "one shot".

 

With a soundfont editor you can add a sample coming from a WAV file and add a new preset to play this sample. Doing this seems simpler that doing the job in an other

specific audio player.

 

Fluidsynth does't play samples described by SFZs format.

If the answer to this is "no, fluidsynth was not designed for that" I totally understand.

Been playing with it for a while and love it, used several Soundfonts that I liked.

If not, I guess I can run a separate audio player in another process/program and trigger it separately, but it would be cool to keep it all within Fluidsynth.
