Hey Luke,
As far as I know, the only way to do what you want is to open each soundfont
with swami and edit the volume of each soundfont by hand. Then (this would
be a personal preference) pack it all into one 128 instrument bank and then
switch instruments via program select midi messages.
Out of interest, which soundfonts/bristol synths are you using? If the
soundfonts are freely available/redistributable, I might download them and
try and normalise them for you.
Andrew.

Howdy folks,
I am in need of wisdom: I have a dozen or so soundfonts I play in a live
performance situation, each with their own average, max, and min dbs. I need
to normalize each of these soundfonts to an average gain and similar range,
so that I don't get hit in the head by a beer at my next show.
Any tools out there that'll let me do this? I am playing through
qsynth/fluidsynth and have a master gain but nothing (afaics) that allows me
to give a preset gain with each patch -- so I need to (i think) unpack and
re-build each soundfont with a goal volume range in mind, then use the
master gain in qsynth to bring me up to a normal volume with bristol (which
I also use, and is independently adjustable).
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke
