.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B qsynth
command.
.PP
\fBQsynth\fP 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.
.PP
\fBFluidSynth\fP is a command line software synthesiser based on the
Soundfont specification.
