Hi Andy,

You probably want two separate programs: something to record the MIDI,
and a softsynth.

I'd probably use ardour 3 (beware of dragons) to record the MIDI data,
and any mix of synths to get the required sound.

Only problem might be if you used the synth's GUI to tweak sound
parameters; they wouldn't be recorded.

Peter.
