# Refer to '''"Putting it All Together with a Bash Shell Script"''' to learn how to automatically launch for performance session with the keyboard applications such as Qsynth and Bristol Organ. '''When you have created that Bash Shell script, launch your performance session, and wait until all of the applications are running, and that all of the connections have been made.

==== A Word of Warning of MIDI Channels & Bristol Organ ==== I have always wondered how Bristol Organ managed multiple keyboards. For example, the Bristol (Hammond) B3 organ has two sets of keyboards (upper and lower), and I was curious how to access the lower keyboard. The answer is easier that you think! When you issue the command to run the Bristol B3 organ with a midi channel, then the next higher midi channel will be reserved for the lower keyboard - totally awesome!... ... But if you didn't know that, and launched the Qsynth application using that extra midi channel, then don't be surprised if your Bristol B3 organ abruptly aborts... no wonder! Therefore, you have to do a little planning head, and reserve extra midi channels for any Bristol Organs that have multiple keyboards prior to assigning various midi channels... ==== Tweaking Qsynth to Play Different MIDI Channels / Sound-fonts ====
To be completed...
