Apologies I think you have missed the essential “Program Change” midi message, sent with the patch number in the second (data) byte Thus 1100cccc 0nnnnnnn all binary, where cccc=channel & nnnnnnn=patch
From: Bill Stuart-Bruges Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 4:36 PM To: FluidSynth mailing list Subject: Re: [fluid-dev] presets You have confused "Channel" with "Preset/Patch" Your font will have up to 127 Presets (=Patches or instruments) and you can play any Preset on any of the Midi Channels, thus up to 16 simultaneous Presets at once Strictly a Midi Preset can be made up of more than one instrument, an instrument being a set of sound samples, but that is not important to you right now, as it is all in the Font design.

Then I start playing (I use an M-Audio Keystation 88), switching channels to change instruments. You can also use VMPK to connect to your QSynth 'engine', and use it to manually set the instrument on whatever MIDI channel manually. -- Sincerely, Aere _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
