My SBLive card uses the Ensoniq 1370 hardware. And I use sfxload to load the
soundfonts on it. I remember the documentation not making that very
clear, but that is what you do.
Specifically, the disk that came with my card had a directory with
soundfonts in it somewhere, and I copied them to my hard drive, and
now when I want to use MIDI I say:
sfxload /usr/local/lib/sfbank/8mbgmsfx.sf2
So see if you can find some files named <something>.sf2 and try
loading them.
Another thing I've had to do to use jazz as a sequencer is to tell it
to "never" reset the MIDI, since otherwise it seems to unload the
sound fonts. So you might want to make sure you aren't running
anything that does that.
