Could do, I guess ,-)

That's what I thought could be a good possibility.

Or maybe rewrite a soundfont player altogether.  Maybe things like
having a separate volume control (at least -reverb and chorus could be
fine also) for each of the 16 sounds that can be played inside a
soundfont archive cannot be achieved with the current fluidsynth player.

Much like Zyn does it as it only has one jack audio entry but for each
synth instance of a single Zyn app the reverb and volume (to name only
these) can be set inside Zyn.

That's a thought.  Moreover, that's surely the only way to start
something.

Cheers.
