.SH SYNOPSIS
qsynth [options] [soundfonts] [midifiles]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Qsynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt 4 toolkit. Eventually it may evolve into a softsynth management application allowing the user to control and manage a variety of command line softsynth but for the moment it wraps the excellent FluidSynth.
