I have now managed to get Fluida installed (in addition to WhySynth). I also now have the relevant directories showing up in Qtractor's View_Options_Plugins window, and both items show up in the MIDI/Instrument section of Track Properties. However, even if I select an instrument from one of these, I still do not hear the appropriate sounds. I assume that I should be able to connect WhySynth or Fluida to Qtractor in the Connections window; but as I mentioned in my previous email, they don't show up there. Using the MIDI tab of Qtractor's Connections window I have "Midi Through" and "Qtractor" in the Readable column, and "Midi Through", "Timidity" and "Qtractor" in the Writable column. If I connect Qtractor to Timidity, I hear the FluidR3_GM sound regardless of which Instrument I have selected in Track Properties. If I disconnect Qtractor and Timidity, then I hear nothing at all. I am sure there must be something very basic I am missing here, but I have no idea what to do next. How do I get the Instrument I specify for a track in the Track Properties window actually to sound when I play the track in Qtractor?
