Thanks for the response.

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?
