Hi,
I am running rosegarden on a neat Dell Latitude E7440, under
Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS \"Bionic Beaver\" - Release amd64 (20190805),
kernel 4.15.0-88-lowlatency.
No additional soundcard is available.
Rosegarden works fine.
I should like to load a midi file, then change the instruments.
Beside the "default" engine, associated to FluidR3_GM.sf2 file,
I added 3 engines via qsynth,
PC51f, 2MBGMGS, TimGM6mb,
associated to the corresponding .sf2 files that I found on the WEB.
I start rosegarden, load a .rg file (let's say Beethoven 5th
symphony), play...
All is OK.
Now I activate qsynth. I click on PC51f engine...
Sound does not change...
I click "restart" on qsynth GUI.
No change.
I do not understand if fluidsynth is used by rosegarden.
Indeed jack is involved.
Stopping/resuming jack via qjackctl stops/resumes playing.
But what about fluidsynth?
What about the "connections" in jack?
There are so many, rather obscure to me...
I browsed the web, but I cannot well understand the connections
rosegarden-jack-fluidsynth.
Any suggestion?
Best!

Hello!
I don't use qsynth/fluidsynth directly from Rosegarden. I use
Rosegarden's fluidsynth-dssi instead. That avoids the whole connection
problem since the connection goes through Rosegarden to JACK.
I get there through:
1. *Studio* menu > *Manage Synth Plugins*.
2. Click on the dropdown arrow where it says <none> and pick
"Fluidsynth DSSI plugin". Do this for as many synth plugins as you
might need. The way the DSSI works, it offers a separate synth
instance for each instrument.
3. Click *Close*.
4. Right-click on the track you want to assign to the plugin.
Pick*Synth Plugin* > *Synth Plugin #1* (or whichever item number you
picked when you picked the plugin above).
5. In the *Instrument Parameters* for that track, click on *Editor*.
6. Click *Load Soundfont*, navigate to your soundfont, select it, click
*OK* to install it.
7. In the *Editor*, pick the instrument you want to use. Close the
editor window.
8. In the *Track Parameters* window, make sure the instrument you want
to use is selected.
Then you should be ready to go.
Sorry, I only have the English version here so I can't provide the
Italian labels.
