Cute toy, works ... somewhat.
Not all soundfonts will be compatable without a few options around.
1. Samplerate conversion -- such an animal available in fluidsynth or in jack
(no setting around in qjackctl)? Was not a problem using alsa (but all that
latency!).
2. Channels -- Might need to set. There are soundfonts that do not play on the
default channel-1/0.
3. Program -- A GM sf2 may have many programs and the MIDI controller needs to
select. Others are one instrument but this either plasy on program 1/0 or on
the appropriate program for say a clarinet. Might want to set a program
outright (which the controller could always change).
(4. Jack-midi is problematic. Must usually run through a alsa2jackmidi-bridge
program and mutliple connections over three qjackctl panes. Can hang up. Had
similar problems using qsynth!)
