It's probably somewhere in the quicktime preferences.

Hey everyone. I'm sure some of you enjoy playing midi files downloaded
from the web. However, the default set of sounds, known as the
General Midi wave table is less than desireable. Here's a cool way to
replace the current sound set with a better one. Core audio uses sound
fonts, which have a .sf2 extention. There are lots of free sites that
offer downloadable sound fonts. Locate a GM Sound Font and download it.
Place it in the library/audio/sounds/banks folder. Then,go into system
preferences and launch theQuick Time preference. In the advanced tab,
set the synthesizer to the gm bank you just put in the banks folder.
Close the preferences, and you're done. Depending on the sound font
you downloaded, you should hear a massive improvement in the sound
quality. Note. For this to work properly, you must find a GM or General
Midi bank. This way the sounds will be propperly assigned when a midi
file is played. Soon, I will place a link to a free one that is
absolutely amazing. I need to find a place to host it because the
archive that it is in is a .exe file, which only works on a PC. If
anyone has any ideas, hit me up.
