+FluidSynth is a real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2
+specifications. FluidSynth can read MIDI events from a MIDI input
+device and render them to an audio device using SoundFont instruments.
+SoundFont files are composed of digital audio "samples" and additional
+instrument parameters. These files can be created or downloaded off the
+Internet. FluidSynth also has support for controlling effects in real
+time and can play MIDI files.
+
+Note: FluidSynth was previously called IIWU Synth.
