There is no such thing as "FSchannels". The documentation of the synth always talks about "midi channels". The only way you communicate with the synth is via "midi channels". Just because the number of midi channels is limited to 16 in standard midi files does not mean it's limited in the same way for fluidsynth. Neither does it mean something is "completely different".
JJC already pointed out how the number of channels can be changed, see http://www.fluidsynth.org/api/fluidsettings.xml#synth.midi-channels The naming "midi channels" was given to indicate that channels of a midi file are semantically equivalent to the channels provided by the synthesizer. > Just because something works from the command prompt does not necessarily mean that it will work when another programmer tries to make it work Since the command prompt uses the same synth API calls as you used in your app, it is definitely suited as proof of concept.
