qsynth − fluidsynth GUI front-end interface
qsynth [options] [ soundfonts ] [ midifiles ]
qsynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written around the Qt3 toolkit. Eventually it may evolve into a softsynth management application allowing the user to control and manage a variety of command line softsynths but for the moment it wraps FluidSynth.
