Actually, yes :) I'm currently working right now with DLS support (like within the last few days). I have put a lot of work into getting the archetecture in place in Swami to support different patch formats. DLS2/Gigastudio is the first other format I am adding (I have not yet researched what additional info is added by Gigastudio, if any). I currently have all the run time objects defined as well as the DLS loader, just haven't tested it yet. This is all with the new Swami branch, which is not quite ready for public consumption. FluidSynth is most likely going to stay SoundFont based, which isn't really a problem, since it has a nice API that allows for other formats to be synthesized (within the scope of a SoundFont of course). If you would like to know when this stuff is available, you could join the swami-devel list (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/swami-devel) it currently has very little traffic, so no worries there. I'm really excited about where Swami is going, its somewhat of a slow process, but it is definately getting there :) Cheers. Josh Green
