Hello Brad, It sounds like you really need to get debugging working. From what you said about the "interp num" command, I assume you are building the fluidsynth command shell. Do you get any relevant error messages on the console (probably the same terminal you are running fluidsynth from - but may be hidden if you are accessing the shell through TCP for example). Make sure you are able to see console messages, since there may be some useful error messages getting output.
When running the interp command it should call fluid_synth_set_interp_method(). I would get debugging working and set a breakpoint on that function and make sure it is doing all the calls to fluid_channel_set_interp_method() for every channel.
