I recently started to build an Android App that will make heavy use of MIDI sounds. Problem: The standard Android MIDI sound is just horrible. On Windows and Linux, I vastly improved the sound by applying a soundfont (.sf2) - that doesn't seem to be possible on Android without further ado.

While looking for a solution, EAS_LoadDLSCollection() popped up a few times, but as I'm pretty new to Android programming, I can't figure out how to make use of it.

It's not mandatory that the MIDI sound is changed system wide - just for the app would be enough.

Any hints appreciated.

It looks possible using FluidSynth. You'll have to compile it for the JNI, though. Steps to do so can be found on this thread about it. There are some other interesting comments in that thread, also.
