Possible to have mac DLS Synth as midi output?

Open tmhglnd opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi!

In MaxMSP the default midi output on Mac is the AU DLS Synth. I'm curious if it would be possible to have this as an output in the standalone version of plugData as well? I realize that this synth is also not an option in pd vanilla or the l2ork version, so maybe it is more challenging to add this, I don't know. In the meantime I can of course use SimpleSynth :).

Unfortunately this is not implemented yet, but I would be interested in adding this! It's very useful for testing algorithmic composition ideas.

Another option is to use the [sfont~] object, which can load soundfonts. It accepts raw MIDI input.
