The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
- allow the GUS to change sound fonts at run time.
- implemented sound font manager support in the GUS synth. This works but also made me realize that the SF2 support of this synth has been rather broken, apparently forever.
- added the missing handler for reading Timidity configs from the lump directory.
- fixed incomplete init of the GUS synth when no soundfont can be located.
- fixed bad initialization of WildMidi sampling frequency. It would default to 11.025 kHz if no valid rate was set. Now it will use the sound device's native frequency.
