I use a sequence editor (such as Rosegarden or MusE) to set-up the 
instruments the way I want it, and just play the sequence to QSynth 
(Fluidsynth ought to work the same way).

Then I start playing (I use an M-Audio Keystation 88), switching 
channels to change instruments.

You can also use VMPK to connect to your QSynth 'engine', and use it to 
manually set the instrument on whatever MIDI channel manually.
