In these situation what I do is to start Fluidsynth (the command for which QSynth is a GUI frontend) with something like this: fluidsynth -j -l /path/to/general/midi/soundfont/FluidR3_GM.sf2 FluidR3_GM.sf2 in this case is the Fluid Synth soundfont which many distributions package. Obiously it could be any General Midi compatible SoundFont. At that point you only need to connect (e.g. with qjackctl Alsa Midi tab in connections) Rosegarden's General Midi out to FluidSynth in. > Also, to use the synth plugins I have to manually load sound fonts for > each track after importing each midi file. Is there no way to set the > default? Correct. You need to manually setup synths for each track in Rosegarden. Note that there's a difference between 'internal' synths, which are DSSI synths Rosegarden manages and plays directly and midi outputs, which are just ALSA Midi outputs you can connect to any alsa midi input (e.g. fluidsynt, yoshimi etc. etc.).
