Re: [fluid-dev] presets

[Bill Stuart-Bruges]

You have confused "Channel" with "Preset/Patch"

Your font will have up to 127 Presets (=Patches or instruments)

and you can play any Preset on any of the Midi Channels,  thus up to 16 simultaneous Presets at once

 

Strictly a Midi Preset can be made up of more than one instrument, an instrument being a set of sound samples,  but that is not important to you right now, as it is all in the Font design.  Bill S-B  www.chateau-rentals.com/Organ

I use a sequence editor (such as Rosegarden or MusE) to set-up the

instruments the way I want it, and just play the sequence to QSynth

(Fluidsynth ought to work the same way).

 

Then I start playing (I use an M-Audio Keystation 88), switching

channels to change instruments.

 

You can also use VMPK to connect to your QSynth 'engine', and use it to

manually set the instrument on whatever MIDI channel manually.
