The alternative to fluidsynth are the soundfont opcodes. They're not as sophisticated, but should do the basics.

I think they are available on iOS.

Hi all, this could be a v stupid question so if it is I apologise in advance!

I'm working on a project which involves using soundfonts on iOS, I'm handling the csound end and another dev is handling the swift end. He's saying the FluidSynth opcodes won't work on iOS, so I was wondering if a workaround would be to bridge between swift and python, as I already have a python file triggering a csd. From some really light googling I found that it's possible to use python libs on iOS bridged with swift by including the headers for them in the build, would this be a viable option to let us use FluidSynth or am I fundamentally misunderstanding it?

Cheers, 

Syl

For output to a global variable, maybe check that you are summing into
the variable rather than just setting the value. Something like:

ga1 += asigL
ga2 += asigR

rather than

ga1 = asigL
ga1 = asigR

and be sure to clear the global variable in the mixer instrument that
is reading it for processing, such as:

... do stuff with ga1 and ga2 ...
ga1 = 0
ga2 = 0
