Still _a little_ arcane, but saving and restoring in ghostess

I have little to none experience with the other sf2 player
options. Even though the author of ghostess calls it
'sloppy, hurried HACKWARE' it never crashed here and I
use it a lot.

IRRC Soundcrab works nice, looks nice but none of
the few native VST hosts managed to store the setup, in particular the loaded soundfont
was subjected to some amnesia

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.
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?
sorry, arcane again:-), but you say you can do arcana,
then why not write a simple session script in advance
and just execute it once before the gig.
My Lash experiences are similar to yours, thus until this
changes scripts seem to be the best option to me.
best,
