RTSynth is a midi event triggered real time synth for Linux.

Here are some key features of "RTSynth":
sample rate range of 44100-48000Hz
pitch bend
audible increase of overall tuning

Three midi files (LittleWing.mid, PurpleHaze.mid, Child_in_time.mid) together with there ".mst" files have been added to the examples folder.

NOTE: Muse (version 0.6.0pre2) has a serious problem with midi pitch events when reading from a midi file.

Please use pmidi for playback to get the right sound!

Requirements:
libX11.so.6
libXext.so.6
libc.so.6
libm.so.6
libpthread.so.0

What's New in This Release:
Cleanups:

removed all old examples as they had been completely outdated. Added examples matching the current version.
reduced internal buffer sizes to a minimum.
locking down of memory when used in real time mode has been completed.
Midi thread runs now by default in non real time mode. This change ensures that the audio stream will never be interrupted by a Midi event. You can still force Midi real time mode from the command line.

Improvements:

pitch bend frequency adjustment has been improved.
added 6-pole formant filter to the multi output filter unit.
added gain controller to pm-resonators in drum synth.
