Qtractor - A MIDI/Audio multi-track sequencer

[SOLVED]New bie confused on changing or deleting plugin after composition.

Forums

Hello ,
I try to learn Qtractor and using in my projects enjoying and admiring.
In my last project i used some plugins and record sound thru my MIDI keyboard.
To do this i created a separate midi tracks and buses and used a synth (ACE fluintsynth) and a reverb (Calf reb) plugin in the busses.
In the synth plugin set sf2 soundfont (Yamaha c5..)
evrything was fine but afterwards i didnt like the piano sound and decided to refine it.
The problem is when i change the plugins even delete all the sound doesn't change .

Fluidsynth in DSSI plugin menu

Forums

Further to my Ryzen 7 issues vis-à-vis qtractor, ardour and rosegarden, I finally resolved it by installing Ubuntustudio 20:04. Qtractor now runs fast with no problems. The only downside is that ubuntustudio 20:04 only has fluidsynth as a stand alone, whereas I was used to it being available WITHIN the dssi plugin menu in qtractor, which was the default behavior in Ubuntustudio 21:10 onwards. Is there any way for me to make qtractor find it as a plugin?

Changing track settings

Forums

A question to which I strongly suspect the answer is "no", but I'd love to be proved wrong:

 Is is possible to change track settings - specifically the chosen MIDI instrument - part of the way through a track?

For instance, if I specify "Flute" for a track, is it possible to use part of that same track with "Piccolo" as the instrument? Or must I always have 2 separate tracks, even though the 2 instruments are never required to sound at the same time?

Using Midi instruments

Forums

In my previous project, I had 4 midi tracks. each with a different instrument sound. In each track I added sfizz as a plugin, and then specified the required sfz file for the appropriate instrument. I have no idea if this is the best way of doing it, but it worked.

In my new project I thought I could do something similar, except that for this one I am using FluidSynth sounds. I have added FluidSynth as a plugin in each track and then specified the instrument,
