... And by the way... as long as you keep net-book volume to acceptable output level, you shouldn't damage the amplifier. I asked posed this connection concern question to an experienced a veteran "sound-guy" that has setup audio equipment for the likes of '''Moe Koffman''' and '''The Good Brothers''' back in his "younger days". He states, '''''"this shouldn't be a problem what-so-ever, just keep volume down in net-book end and adjust volume via the amplifier"'''''...

... But '''if you didn't know that, and launched the Qsynth application using that extra midi channel, then don't be surprised if your Bristol B3 organ abruptly aborts... no wonder!''' Therefore, you have to do a little planning head, and reserve extra midi channels for any Bristol Organs that have multiple keyboards prior to assigning various midi channels...
[[Image:midi1.png|thumb|right|220px|<b>Qsynth MIDI Channel Dialog Box</b>. Notice a maximum of 16 midi channels, but also the ability to store into separate presets for later use. '''Notice the both MIDI channels 3 and 4 reserved for by Bristol B3 organ''' (both keyboard registers), '''Midi channel 10 is usually reserved for percussion'''...]]
==== Tweaking Qsynth to Play Different MIDI Channels / Sound-fonts ====
Before proceeding with this section, please familiarise yourself with how to use Qsynth and sound-fonts by reading another one of my WIKIs:<br />[ [[Quick & Simple - Setting up Jack Server and Q-synth]] ]. I will assume that you have a basic knowledge of using Qysynth, obtaining sound-fonts, and adding sound-fonts in Qsynth for the remainder of this section.
Steps to Assignment Instruments:
[[Image:midi2.png|thumb|right|400px|'''Assigning Instrument ''' (program) to a '''Bank ''' (i.e. "''SFID "'' or ''"offsetOffset"'').]]
# '''When adding sound-fonts into Qsynth, write-down the SFID number''' (i.e. Sound-font Identification number) - Do NOT close this dialog box quite yet!
# Now, here's the trick: For each sound font, '''make certain that the "Offset" number corresponds to the same number as the SFID!'''
