pyFluidsynth 'module' object has no attribute 'Synth'

Question

I have both fluidsynth

sudo apt-get install fluidsynth

and pyfluidsynth

sudo pip install pyfluidsynth

installed.

However, when I run the standard import commands, I get the following error:

>>> import fluidsynth
>>> fs = fluidsynth.Synth()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Synth'

Answer 1

I also had this problem with fluidsynth installation. I followed the following steps in Windows:

• Install pyfluidsynth: pip install git+https://github.com/0xf0f/pyfluidsynth
• Go to the path where fluidsynth has been installed: Ex.: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages and open fluidsynth.py file.
• In the line of fluidsynth.py where it is written lib = find_library('fluidsynth') add find_library('libfluidsynth64')
• Now download libfluidsynth64.dll and paste it in the path where you have fluidsynth installed: Ex.: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages

You can test if it works by running python, import fluidsynth and fuidsynth.Synth() in the Anaconda Prompt.
