Hey Luke,
As far as I know, the only way to do what you want is to open each soundfont
with swami and edit the volume of each soundfont by hand. Then (this would
be a personal preference) pack it all into one 128 instrument bank and then
switch instruments via program select midi messages.
Out of interest, which soundfonts/bristol synths are you using? If the
soundfonts are freely available/redistributable, I might download them and
try and normalise them for you.
Andrew.
