Changing the midi synth is easy. I've done it before and it completely works. Here's how it works. All the QuickTime synthesizer is is a soundfont. To change the soundfont do the following.
Note the soundfont that you choose must be gm, or any midi files played back will not sound right. 1. Download a soundfont of your choice, if you want to find some good ones, go to www.hammersound.com, or just Google for gm soundfont. The soundfont is a file with the extension .sf2. 2. Place the soundfont into /library/audio/sounds/banks. 3. Open up the QuickTime preference pane. Go to the advanced tab. There, you will find a popup button that says something like QuickTime Synthesizer. Click into that menu and you should see your newly added font. 4. Select that and close the preference pane. Now you should be rockin. Hope this helps
