FluidSynth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FluidSynth, formerly known as iiwusynth, is a free open source program which synthesizes using SoundFont technology without need for a SoundFont-compatible soundcard, and the size of loaded SoundFont banks is limited by the amount of RAM available. There is a GUI for FluidSynth called Qsynth which is also open source. Both are available in most Linux distributions; It is also possible to compile them for Windows.

It features microtonal support and was used in the MicrotonalISM project of the Network for Interdisciplinary Studies in Science, Technology, and Music.^[1]
