-In addition, a lot of other applications use FluidSynth, in its shared library version, for sound synthesis. [[apps:all:qsynth|Qsynth]] and [[apps:all:fluidsynth-dssi]] for instance both provide GUIs for fluidsynth.+Many different projects and environments use FluidSynth to deliver audio output from MIDI.  Desktop environments can be configured thus, for sound cards with no built-in MIDI capability [[apps:all:qsynth|Qsynth]] and [[apps:all:fluidsynth-dssi]] both provide GUIs, and there are others.
