Binaries are in https://github.com/AZSlow3/FluidSynt...ree/master/bin
(the source is also there, it is GPL3 plug-in based on GPL3 Steinberg SDK and LGPL2.1 FluidSynth library)

Do not forget to download some GM SoundFond2 and put it into the same directory as "default.sf2". The synth has no GUI at the moment, so it simply silent if it can not find the sound file.
Very cool Azslow! I already had the largest of the Fluid soundfont files so I had it up and running in a matter of seconds. I created a track template for REAPER that has a REAPER midi control VST set to GM followed by your plugin with "FluidR3 GM.SF2" loaded, so I can now just insert the track template any time I need to play a GM file.

Thanks for creating this and making it available for Linux!
