Awesome!

Btw, although I am still using an older version, I was wondering whether the
following is a "feature" or a "bug." Also, if the latter proves to be the
case, has this been fixed in this version?

Namely, I ran 2 synths both of which were using my soundfont which has 2
banks: first one is the sound and the second one is "dummy" empty soundfont.
The reason for this is because I was unable to set qsynth to have first
channel empty with the soundfont bank being on the second channel without
having to put something into the first (Is this the way it is supposed to
be? If so, please allow me to suggest a small feature request where Qsynth
could allow to put a soundfont on any channel without having previous
channels populated so that if I am to use one soundfont that is to coexist
on two separate channels due to their different spatialization which
requires separate outputs, that I can do so without employing a "dummy"
soundfont)

However, if I alter the channel mapping of banks, even though Qsynth saves
all other aspects of its state upon closing, the channel selection upon
every restart defaults back to the order of the soundfont banks as set in
the actual soundfont. Would it be possible to make it remember the state of
the banks as well or is this a fluidsynth issue?

Many thanks for this great front-end to fluidsynth!

Best wishes,
