Hello,
For a few months now, I'm trying to create a giant piano with the following possibilities :
- Each octave (100 * 105 cm large) is independant and controlled by a single Arduino, linked between thems
- A Master arduino handle events and modifications (key pressed, instrument modification, etc)
- A raspberry pi 3 handles User interface to enable these modifications
Today, I'd like to change one thing : I want the raspberry pi to handle the sound production, instead of the Master arduino board, which were handling thi till now.
This sound production is made with MIDI sound banks.
However, I've been trying with two synthetizer softwares for now (Timidity and Fluidsynth), and it seems that both of thems cannot handle 2 noteOn/noteOff events if they occur almost at the same time (a few milliseconds of delay).
I don't know if it comes from the synths themselves or from the raspi, but I'm a bit stuck with that right now, and I'd prefer not to be forced to switch back the sound to the Master Arduino board...
Does anyone have any clues about this ? Thank you very much...
