Yes, that's what I found.  It also regularly crashed both testing and 
stable versions of jost.  Since jost is made by the same source, I have 
decided to skip soundcrab.  Saving of setup was also the unavailable 
essential in the others I tested, except timidity.  Through much 
tweaking I got timidity to sound acceptable, but frankly, I hate loading 
my system with arcana.  I can do arcana, I just don't choose to do so; 
on gigs I want as straightforward as I can get to live the moment: I 
don't gig with alphanumeric keyboard, just mouse. 

Is there something akin to an easy way to zero-volume MIDI channels in 
Qsynth?

Will be checking out Calf.  There appears to be a whole lot there.

The last three times I tried to use Lash, I couldn't get it to do much, 
but it is sounding like a piece I am missing.  Anyone have something 
like a document or example step-by-step?
