Re: [linux-audio-user] qsynth not visible in noteedit (but visible in kmid, rosegarden)

In my case I have an Audigy2 soundblaster card, and can load soundfonts onto it, using the "sfxload <path_to_soundfont>" command. You need the package "awesfx" installed to use sfxload. Kmidi uses timidity synth to produce sounds and does not need soundfonts loaded onto your soundcard. Sadly it no longer works for me with KDE versions later than that on Fedora Core 1. Maybe issues with the 2.6 kernel post FC1 are also responsible for Kmidi no longer working, but I've never received an answer about that. I seem to recollect that it worked on my initial install of Debian Woody 3.0r2, but when I upgraded to Sarge it was removed. A great shame, as I always found Kmidi worked more reliably than Kmid. All the best. Nigel.
