Chris,
   I've never been much of a fan of sound fonts so I hadn't even noticed
this capability.

   Could it be that you just get both sounds together from the same MIDI
channel but at different notes? I think that sound fonts can map out a
portion of the keyboard, from looking at Swami, so would it be possible to
have a bass below middle C and a piano above middle C?

   I await info just like you!

Mark
