Soundfonts with multiple banks
I may be missing something obvious in the set-up of qsynth, but I'm having a problem with SoundFonts that have multiple banks of channels. There is no problem with bank 0 displaying and functioning perfectly, but there does not seem to be a way of loading bank 1 and subsequent banks. The only thing that would appear to offer a way to load the additional banks is the offset value in the soundfont stack in the Settings. However, if that is altered to say "1" then I get an error message
fluidsynth: warning: Failed to pin the sample data to RAM; swapping is possible.
fluidsynth: warning: Could not connect to any physical jack ports; fluidsynth is unconnected
Hopefully, it is possible to use the additional functionality so I can link different banks to Qsynth1, Qsynth2 etc
On a slighly different note, I take it that the maximum possible channels for a bank is 128. I can set the number of MIDI channels to 256, but I just end up with 128 error messages saying that the channel is out of range
fluidsynth: error: Index out of range (chan=255, prog=255)
Apart from that everything works perfectly and its great to use
