Thank you for those suggestions. I have now managed to get Fluida
installed (in addition to WhySynth). I also now have the relevant
directories showing up in Qtractor's View_Options_Plugins window, and
both items show up in the MIDI/Instrument section of Track Properties.
However, even if I select an instrument from one of these, I still do
not hear the appropriate sounds. I assume that I should be able to
connect WhySynth or Fluida to Qtractor in the Connections window; but
as I mentioned in my previous email, they don't show up there.
Using the MIDI tab of Qtractor's Connections window I have "Midi
Through" and "Qtractor" in the Readable column, and "Midi
Through",
"Timidity" and "Qtractor" in the Writable column. If I connect
Qtractor to Timidity, I hear the FluidR3_GM sound regardless of which
Instrument I have selected in Track Properties. If I disconnect
Qtractor and Timidity, then I hear nothing at all.
I am sure there must be something very basic I am missing here, but I
have no idea what to do next. How do I get the Instrument I specify
for a track in the Track Properties window actually to sound when I
play the track in Qtractor?

In Qtractor I can play the tracks through
Timidity. The Track
dialogue
offers me sounds from the FLuidR3_GM soundfont and also soundbank-
emg.
But these sound identical, and I think only FluidR3_GM is being
used,
which I have set as the default in Timidity.
I would like to use other sound fonts (e.g. Virtual-Playing-
Orchestra3), but I have never worked out how to achieve this.
Virtual-Playing-Orchestra3 is in the sfz format, to use it you'll
something like this:
