Re: Softsynth integrated (FluidSynth)

Hi Jerome
I was quite surprised that under such a heavily loaded  cpu/memory =20
situation the  playback remained very responsive.
I don't know why the system is so heavily loaded but regardless, this is=20
good news and good progress from the situation in R5.

I have a collection of both smaller solo orientated soundfonts and gm=20
soundbanks,  but my desire is to load high quality drum kits into the=20
synth. Some of these are also massive and response/latency as you know=20
is critical.

I will continue to stress test the fluidsynth and report problem here=20
and any bugs to the bug tracker :o)

Thanks again
