Re: [fluid-dev] Using multiple soundfonts from unix command line

Your first attempt is correct, your guess too.

You have to use the midi router to prevent all prog change and bank change 
events from your midi file to be passed to the synth. This can be achieved by 
deleting all default rules of the router, and telling it to only pass note, CC, 
pitchbend, channelpressure and keypressure events (i.e. not program changes and 
no bank changes) to the synth. Use the following fluidsynth shell commands just 
after loading the soundfonts:

router_clear

router_begin note
router_end

router_begin cc
router_par1 1 31 0 0
router_end

router_begin cc
router_par1 33 127 0 0
router_end

router_begin pbend
router_end

router_begin cpress
router_end

router_begin kpress
router_end

Unfortunately, the procedure described above has no effect when playing midi 
files. I've just implemented it in our latest development version. This feature 
will be part of fluidsynth 2.0. If you need it now, you'll have to check out 
the source code from our git repo and build fluidsynth from source.
