Excerpts from Dan Capp's message of 2011-03-20 01:39:33 +0100:
Research tells me that QSynth seems to be the only
currently
available/usable GUI for FluidSynth, but I get big xruns whenever I try and
use it. FluidSynth itself doesn't cause me problems (I know because I'm able
to use the FluidSynth-DSSI plugin fine in Rosegarden etc). The problem is
that I want to use FluidSynth with Ardour3, but Ardour3 doesn't support DSSI
plugins yet. So the only solution I have is to find a standalone interface
for FluidSynth and then to link up using Jack. I looked at the old GUI
'FluidGUI' but it seems to be so old that it won't properly install on
recent versions of Ubuntu.
So does anyone know of:
1) A GUI for FluidSynth other than QSynth and FluidGUI?... or
2) An application other than the above 2 which would allow me to load
soundfonts?
Thanks in advance.

Depending on what you need from a fluidsynth GUI the one that comes with
the calf plugins might be sufficient. Last time I checked it was rather
minimal.
Another alternative might be Linuxsampler which isn't a fluidsynth GUI
but afaik another engine + GUIs that supports sf2.
