<h2>General MIDI Synth</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a convenience plugin for playing standard MIDI files. It uses the
|
|
FluidSynth engine and the GeneralUser GS soundfont by S. Christian Collins.
|
|
The plugin comes with a MIDI map for simple patch selection in the user
|
|
interface. General MIDI Synth was developed outside Ardour and comes bundled
|
|
with it as 3rd party software in the official builds available from Ardour's
|
|
website.

<h2>ACE Reasonable Synth</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a very minimal synth with a piano-like sound, developed primarily
|
|
for auditioning MIDI files. It comes with no controls, however it can be used
|
|
creatively with a number of effects running on top of it.
