Installation
This package depends on pyaudio for playing sounds. To install pyaudio and
tinysoundfont for common platforms:
Windows
py -m pip install pyaudio tinysoundfont

macOS
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio tinysoundfont

GNU/Linux (Ubuntu)
sudo apt install python3-pyaudio
pip install tinysoundfont

Basic Usage
Here is an example program that plays a chord:
import tinysoundfont
import time

synth = tinysoundfont.Synth()
sfid = synth.sfload("florestan-piano.sf2")
synth.program_select(0, sfid, 0, 0)
synth.start()

time.sleep(0.5)

synth.noteon(0, 48, 100)
synth.noteon(0, 52, 100)
synth.noteon(0, 55, 100)

time.sleep(0.5)

synth.noteoff(0, 48)
synth.noteoff(0, 52)
synth.noteoff(0, 55)

time.sleep(0.5)

Please see the
Guide for more
examples and notes about the examples.
Command line
The tinysoundfont package contains a simple command line tool that can
be useful for finding presets, testing the validity of SoundFonts, and
playing MIDI files.
Here is an example that loads the demo SoundFont and shows the presets it defines:
python -m tinysoundfont --info florestan-subset.sfo

(In Windows you may need to use py instead of python).
This results in:
Info for SoundFont florestan-subset.sfo
0 - 2 : Piano
0 - 10 : Music Box
0 - 12 : Marimba
0 - 19 : Church Org.1
0 - 21 : Accordion Fr

0 - 87 : Bass & Lead
0 - 90 : Polysynth
0 - 97 : Soundtrack
0 - 109 : Bagpipe
0 - 116 : Taiko

The output format shows bank - preset : Name.
Here is an example that plays a test note using preset 55:
python -m tinysoundfont --test florestan-subset.sfo --preset 55 --key 70

Here is an example that plays a MIDI file using the FluidR3_GM SoundFont:
python -m tinysoundfont --play FluidR3_GM.sf2 1080-c01.mid
