Well, sorry I knew... I had a look at this nice piece of code of fluid~.

Don't take that wrong but I am happy to have something which depends 
already on FluidSynth and Max/MSP and CodeWarriror and MacOS X and my 
abilities of getting this done in some hours and didn't want to handle 
one more thing such as flext.

You'd say it this way:

Nevertheless: flext is a great thing!

Than there are some funny details in doing something which integrates 
really well with Max/MSP (like the file open box), which I didn't see 
how to get into flext.

On the other side I am absolutely in favor of keeping those FluidSynth 
incarnations compatible concerning the accepted messages (and their 
effect). To get one step further in the "have a look to my source code" 
business I'll make sure that fluidsynth~ will implement the same 
messages as fluid~ and try to post a summary of the other few messages 
for the FX and the modulation (generators) to this mailing list.
