I wrote a patch that lets you load a bank explicitly from a directory
on the command line (such as: zynaddsubfx -B /path/to/my/bank).
The patch is for the latest version of zynaddsubfx (2.2.1) which can
be obtained here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62934&package_id=59720&release_id=323680
See the attachment for the patch. :)
Ah, I almost forgot: In order to see the instruments loaded from the
bank you must click on a widget in the bank window to force it to
refresh.
Cheers,
-Lou
