Re: [fluid-dev] Fluid Synth CC1 Tremolo

There is no such thing as "FSchannels". The documentation of the synth always 
talks about "midi channels". The only way you communicate with the synth is 
via "midi channels". Just because the number of midi channels is limited to 16 
in standard midi files does not mean it's limited in the same way for 
fluidsynth. Neither does it mean something is "completely different".

JJC already pointed out how the number of channels can be changed, see
http://www.fluidsynth.org/api/fluidsettings.xml#synth.midi-channels

The naming "midi channels" was given to indicate that channels of a midi file 
are semantically equivalent to the channels provided by the synthesizer.

mean that it will work when another programmer tries to make it work

Since the command prompt uses the same synth API calls as you used in your 
app, it is definitely suited as proof of concept.
