Those two weren't using any ready made midi synth patches. ;) If you aspire that kind of stuff, you might want to leave the world of prefabricated midi patch players and dive into modular software synthesis as provided by Csound, Pd, Supercollider, SSM, and the like. They all procide midi functionality as well, but you'll be allowed to (and have to) create new and unheard sounds on your own. In theory this is possible with .pat and .sf2 files as well, but they only provide a limited amount of flexibility. For creating soundfonts look at smurf/swami.
