Timidity does also have a way of splitting midi-out. If you do "timidity -Qx,y,...", where x and y etc. are the channels you want to mute. Or, the other way round, you could do "timidity -Q0,-x,-y,...", which will mute everything except the channels you specify with the dashes. I've been pretty satisfied with the airfont soundfont, but I can't remember offhand where I found it. HTH, terrence
