I need to follow through on this using the ZynAddSubFX approach which I finally got to work so I'll run through that first. - I entered rosegarden's midi setup dialog and created a "My-Zyn-In" entry paired to the "131:1 ZynAddSubFX (write)" available output on the right. - With Zyn launched I set all 16 channels up for one instrument or another. I can hear them all and they all have names & numbers like "39 - Church Organ 3". Thus one can set & store each of 16 channels to any one of hundreds of ZynSubFX instruments - Finally I can save the Zyn settings to a file so I don't have to go through all this each time - If Zyn is set up and connected through Qjackctl then clicking on a track in rosegarden I get My-Zyn-In as an option with the 16 associated channels to produce the subject sounds. Now how do I do the same thing with Qsynth? I have about 10 *.sf2 files in a folder, the 2 biggest ones are FluidR3_GM.sf2 149 mb PC51f.sf2 63 mb and I suppose that each of them contain hundreds of musical instruments just like Zyn does. I selected all of the sf2 files in the Qsynth setup "Soundfonts" browser dialog so now when I open that dialog all 10 are there. There seems to be NOTHING to do in that dialog except to sequence them in a top down order with move up/down buttons. I presume only one sf2 file can be selected at a time, and that one is whichever one is at the top. Now when I right click on a track in rosegarden the My-Qsynth option is listed also just kike My-Zyn-In with 16 unlabeled instruments. Is 16 instruments all there is in these sf2 files? Where can I see & set which Qsynth channel will play which instrument from which sf2 file? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
