As it turns out, VLC is actually incapable of playing MIDI files without first loading a SoundFont, so these instructions may already be familiar to you if you’re a VLC user: If you want to play MIDI files with SoundFont soundbanks, it’s easy to do so using the excellent cross-platform VLC Media Player, which utilises the FluidSynth library to do the synthesising. Cross-Platform Solution for SoundFont files I’ve been unable to find a cross-platform solution that supports DLS files, so Linux users will have to stick to SoundFont files.

However, as far as DLS goes, you’re stuck with using Windows or Mac OS X. The SoundFont format, due to its popularity, is well supported by the open source community, and can be utilised under most operating systems. SoundFont took off and gained a large following, whereas DLS, which never gained any sizeable momentum, is ironically the format supported natively by the synthesisers built into both Windows and Mac OS X. Though several different formats of soundbanks surfaced, the two notable formats are Creative’s SoundFont and MMA’s Downloadable Sounds (DLS).

This solution offered increased flexibility, and was actually rather reminiscent of module music, a format which contained samples and instrument instructions in the one file (and which I happen to have a bit of a soft spot for, see my article on MOD music.) In order to extend the format’s potential and facilitate better results, several organisations worked on developing file formats that would allow composers to create their own custom soundbanks, which could then be loaded by MIDI synthesisers, to ensure the end user heard exactly what the composer had intended. The final sound depended on the soundbanks (collections of pre-recorded samples) that the user’s synthesiser or sound card used for playback, which were often low-quality and rarely sounded the same as those used by the composer. However, the nature of MIDI somewhat limited the potential of the format, since composers had no control over what end users actually heard. The format was favoured due to its relatively low computational overhead, which suited the limited hardware of the day, as well as the small filesizes that made it ideal for transferring over the internet.

if your midi software lets you load a soundfont then just do that.
however i dont think midieditor seems as pleasant to use as aria maestosa, so i might try more midi programs later. i tried midieditor now and it was running the correct soundfont when i opened the program after first applying the sf in virtualmidisynth, so that works.
(when i used to do midi on my old mac in aria maestosa i could just pick a soundfont from the settings which was very easy - but i tried the same program here now and couldnt find a setting for that).

However i had to get a program (virtualmidisynth) to be able to set this soundfont as the default to be able to play with it, on my windows 10 comp. Its basic but it works on my comp at least (i might try to improve it). Sso penguin soundfont for midi music (version 1)
