NAME

       Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface

SYNOPSIS

       qsynth [options] [soundfonts] [midifiles]

DESCRIPTION

       Qsynth  is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt 4 toolkit. Eventually it may evolve into a softsynth manage-
       ment application allowing the user to control and manage a variety of command line softsynth but for the moment it wraps the excellent Flu-
       idSynth.
