OK, now I'm confused again.  Are you saying that a soft synth that
can only be driven via MIDI should not describe itself as a SYNTH?
If so, how do I know it's a synth?

My interpretation so far has been that most soft synths should set
SYNTH, APPLICATION and possibly SAMPLE if they're sample-based,
whereas a sequencer like Rosegarden should set APPLICATION and
nothing else.  Do I have that wrong?

(And I don't know of any soft synths that are always GM devices,
so I'm doubtful -- as I mentioned in another email -- whether they
should be setting GM or not.)
