Hi,

Seems that Rui is a bit busy now to answer your questions, but I am the  
windows packager, so I feel the need to say something. First of all, thanks 
for your interest in QSynth.

I'm sorry, I don't have VC6. MinGW generates a fluidsynth.dll.a import 
library, with a different format that the MS linker can't understand. 

My suggestion is to build Fluidsynth yourself with your own compiler. The 
winbuild/ directory has a .dsw workspace with three .dsp projects for vc6, 
but I couldn't test them. There are also support files for more recent 
versions, and you can download the VS express (gratis) from MS. For the same 
price you can get also the free MinGW/MSYS, which is what I've used.

Maybe you can create several synth instances (using the green cross at the 
lower left of the main window) loading different soundfonts into each one. 
You should also open a different MIDI input port to each instance...
