  If you use the latest qsynth and start 3 engines, a single
  large soundfont can be shared between the multiple engines,
  saving a good deal of memory. In qsynthMainForm.cpp put a line
  at the top:
  #define QSYNTH_CUSTOM_LOADER
  then 'make' as usual.  Define the same for soundfont(s) for all engines
  and they should only be loaded once.
