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.)
