KMid uses either timidity or fluidsynth, if a soft synth is needed. Normally 
timidity has a very limited amount of instruments. Initializing fluidsynth in 
KMid, it has a pointer to a file /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 which is 
not present in my distribution. It is available on the Internet in a zip file, 
which does not contain any license, however I found a remark that it is 
available with a license something like LGPL. I don't know if fluidsynth and 
timidity are part of KDE. If so, I wonder if it is possible to include 
FluidR3_GM.sf2 also. In that case the configuration file of timidity should 
also contain a reference to this sf2 file.
