> D. Michael McIntyre T H I S is what I was lookin' for, thanks a zillion! When I pointed let's say my 1st instance of qsynth to a given soundfont file I _presumed_ it was being 'loaded' so that any calls to my qs1 would include. That's why I couldn't finger out why-oh-why the instrument params didn't show them. So then what exactly does setting it in the qsynth setup accomplish? ..but don't nobody lose any sleep over this one :-) Do you play the trumpet BTW [rosegarden.trumpeter]? > Just a thought: is liblo installed? > Tim Munro Yes, I've been installing everything I could find including the neighbor's piano trying to make _this_ work. The dssi plugins work alright, I'll use those whenever possible because they all come together in the nice Studio>Audi-Mixer for recording as a wave file (making backing tracks). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
