I agree, especially since a given Reverb value is implementation  
dependent as to how it affects the sound.  I doubt many people design  
MIDI songs that rely on the default reverb being 40.  Depending on how  
the FluidSynth Reverb and/or Chorus are configured, I've found that it  
can at times have pretty adverse affects on the sound.  Chorus in  
particular seems to cause tone changes for example, at least  
perceptibly and a rather huge change in volume, as I know you are aware.

Best regards,
