Multiple soundfonts are stacked by engine, and the last loaded one takes precedence over the same bank/programs. Thats why you cannot assign one bank/program from a previously loaded soundfont to a channel if some later soundfont is loaded which implements the same bank/program number pair. I believe there's help with the bank-offset thingie, but I can't tell you much more as I don't grasp it very well ;) > 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.
