'makes sense. I was just lucky that the soundfont that was packaged with
fluidsynth was fluidR3_GM so it matched the available GM.rgd.
As Michael said, loading soundfonts into RG it does still work and
provides the labels that an rgd file would if you saved it as such.
But as another reply said, you have to load the actual sounds into
Fluidsynth (or whatever) and play RG out through that in order to
hear them.

The mappings of a soundfont vary from font to font. Just based on the
name of the soundfont (Guitars-Universal), it may not match the GM or
GS standard mappings.

I believe the soundfont sf2 complies with GM or GS mappings so
load the soundfont into fluidsynth, create a midi device in sg and
load the GM.rgd into that and point it at the fluidsynth port in rg.
The GM patch names should come up in the instrument panel.
'works for me.

Importing the sf2 in the 'manage midi devices' dialog has a mostly
decorative function. Ie, it only effects the the labels that RG
assigns to tracks.
If you are fairly new to this sort of stuff what i bet you want to
do is to load the font into a synth to make some sounds.
This is done in qsynth itself and the process is fairly self
explanatory.
Once the sf2 is loaded in the synth, there is no urgent need to
import it into RG unless you find it overly confusing to have RG
calling your presets by the wrong name.

Hi,
I'm struggling to understand the instructions on importing a
soundfont into Rosegarden. The Rosegarden Handbook says this is
achievable (instead of importing an rgd file).
What I'm, exactly, trying to achieve is to replace the Programs
in the Instrument Parameter List to those in the
Guitars-Universal-V1.5.sf2.
I've tried using the Studio > Manage MIDI Devices Dialog to
Import but am only getting three voices as a result (there are
many, many in the soundfont).
I'm using QSynth and have tried loading this soundfont in there
but this changes nothing in Rosegarden.
OK, apologies in advance for the newbie nature of the post.
Mike
