Synth Font has realtime midi input, in fact the older versions used to be
fairly accessible, but as you've said they made the UI busy in later
versions. You can also use Timidity but it does not allow to change the
soundfont on multiple channels. It does, however, let you load multiple
soundfonts at once so you can use specialized soundfonts for some
instruments. Timidity also has effects. But certain controllers which should
be doing something, don't do a thing on my end, such as program changes on
channel 10.
There are also vst soundfont players, such as SFZ, but I can't figure out
how to load a soundfont with them. I'm not sure if it can load multiple
soundfonts at once.
All of these, as far as I know, do meet your requirements for the most part.
They definitely all support Asio, and should be able to be used with your
keyboard via a virtual midi cable, and are free. So you can try them and see
if you can work out all the little bugs I've found, and make one work.
Hopefully I have helped a little.

Subject: QWS List recormended Sound Font player.
Hi All.
please excuse the cross posting.
I'm trying to find an easy to use, screen reader accessible sound font
player.
I'm currently using syfon1, a version of synth font. Mostly its accessible
but I can't work out how to change the sound font and selected instrument
for each channel. I did look at synth font but the UI is just a little
busy. I'd be more than happy if people have some tips to make either of
these beasts easier to use.
If not I'm after a player which:
1. can do real-time, or near real-time playback so I can record against
it.
2. can take input from a midi in device, I'm currently using a virtual
midi cable from my sequencer, QWS.
3. Must support ASIO.
4. cheep, or better still free.
5. Work on windows xp and/or 7.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks.
Nick.
