FYI -- I have a couple of songs originally written in Cakewalk Pro-Audio 9 that I have imported into Rosegarden to output the tracks through Fluid-synth and various soundfonts. Some of the tracks sound fine, such as the piano and bass tracks. However, the lead guitar track, going through Fluid Synth and a Sonic Implants soundfont, sounds horribly out of tune whenever more than a single note is played at one time. I got around the problem by sending the guitar track to ZynAddSubFX instead of Fluidsynth. This leads to to believe that it is fluid-synth specific, but I haven't done any more digging into the problem to look at specific events that might be causing the problem.
