[fluid-dev] GeneralUser GS v1.43 RC1

--------------------------------
I have updated GeneralUser GS to version 1.43 RC1.  In this version, I have copied the drumsets to the melodic pool in bank 120.  Usually, access to the drumsets is only through the percussion channel (10), but sometimes you may desire to use a different channel.  Switching that channel to bank 120 allows this.

Also, I have created a Rosegarden instrument list for use with GeneralUser GS.  This was designed to be used with GeneralUser GS loaded into bank 0 through Qsynth.  However, other uses are no doubt possible.  Using GeneralUser GS through fluidsynth-dssi doesn't require these patch names, since fluidsynth-dssi provides its own patch names to Rosegarden.  The advantages to using GeneralUser GS through Qsynth rather than fluidsynth-dssi are:

• All 16 MIDI channels can access the same sound library
• Reverb & Chorus controllers (91 & 93) work
• No having to configure the fluidsynth-dssi softsynth for each track--just pick your instrument and go
