Qsynth(1) A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface

SYNOPSIS

qsynth [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 manage 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 Soundfont specification.
