Here iiwu has big tuning problems. I used the soundfonts of my broken
sblive card and also the MiniPiano.SF2 from the MuSE distribution
with some classic midi piano tunes (e.g Moussorgsky's "Pictures of an
Exhibition") and it sounds terribly wrong and out of tune.

I found this problem with the iiwu object for PD (pd-iiwu) and also
with the original iiwusynth distribution (0.3.0).

To me, unless I find some working soundfonts, iiwu in its currents state
is useless for tuned instruments and only usable for drumsets.
