[fluid-dev] Limited dynamic in fluidsynth

[senjin]

I'm new to the list, so hello everybody!
I'm not English native speaker so sorry for the mistakes...

I use fluidsynth 1.0.8 with qsynth 0.3.2. I noticed the following 
problem: When I play my electric piano connected via MIDI to the PC the 
dynamic range of the sounds played by fluidsynth is very low - much 
lower than of the sounds from the audio output of my piano. All the 
notes from fluidsynth have very similar loudness.

I noticed the problem using two popular soundfonts: naturalstudio 
ns_kit7free drumkit and FluidR3GM.SF2, so I doubt that this is a problem 
with my soundfonts.

I'm not soundfont expert, but some time ago I read that there are two 
ways of assigning sample dynamic to MIDI velocity values: linear and 
logarithmic. Some soundfonts require one, some another. Using the wrong 
one leads to wrong dynamic. I guess that this is the source of the problem.

However I couldn't find in qsynth nor in fluidsynth an option to chose 
the dynamic mode. Is it implemented?
