[linux-audio-user] fluidsynth multi channel output

Hi,
        I've been using a shell scipt to load the various applications used for my
projects and one of these applications is qsynth. As far as I can see,
qsynth does not alow a configuration file to be specified, so I can't vary
the sound fonts I use from project to project - please correct me if I am
wrong, it will solve my problem. I turned to lash / fluidsynth combination
but one of the fonts I use as multiple outputs (one for each drum). This
worked OK in qsynth, I set each channel to the same prog / channel and the
different drums would pop out of each channel as dictated by my qmidiroute
config. I've been trying to do the same with fluidsynth but everythings
coming out of the first channel.

I use

fluidsynth -a jack -C no -g 1 -o audio.output-channels=2 -o
synth.audio-channels=13 -o synth.audio-groups=13 -o audio.jack.id=test -o
audio.jack.multi=yes -R no -o audio.periods=2 -o audio.period-size=128 -o
synth.verbose=yes -r 48000
/mnt/audioHD/SoundFonts/percussion/ns_kit7freesf2lite/ns_kit7free\ lite.sf2

to start the synth then select to set each midi channel to font 0.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Bruce.
