QSYNTH(1)QSYNTH(1)NAME
Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface
SYNOPSISqsynth [options] [soundfonts] [midifiles]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the qsynth command.
Qsynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around
the Qt framework using Qt Designer. Eventually it may evolve into a
softsynth management application allowing the user to control and man‐
age a variety of command line softsynths but for the moment it wraps
the excellent FluidSynth.
FluidSynth is a command line software synthesiser based on the Sound‐
font specification.
