fluidsynth (with or without qsynth) will obviously play SF2 files very well

16 MIDI channels.  My keyboard controller will transmit on only 16

fluidsynth.

    

fluidsynth-dssi and ghostess.

An example:
$ ghostess -2 -chan 4 fluidsynth-dssi.so
This will open two instances of fluidsynth-dssi on channels four
and five (ghostess numbers channels from 0 to 15).
  

Ah.  That sounds rather good.  Thanks.

I just don't like adding complications to my data-chains, when they aren't absolutely needed.  ghostess sounds like a good item to keep fluidsynth under control :-)

J.E.B.
