Thanks John, I'll try it again then.

How do I get smurf to make any sound? I have ALSA/MIDI working perfectly and 
yet I don't seem to be able to hook my external keyboard up so it can trigger 
the soundfont I want to edit. Smurf is pre-JACK isn't it?

I wasn't really suggesting throwing out the baby. If it's an open format, no 
problem. If there are no license problems, I would have thought that building 
a command-line interface for SWAMI would really be the way to go.
