Soundfonts and Multiple Soundcards

I have a setup with three SBLive soundcards in one computer. (Thanks, KX Team!) I play pipe organ soundfonts from them to create a pipe organ with over sixty stops. Can anyone tell me if I need to load the soundfonts into separate banks, for example banks 1 and 2 for soundcard one, banks three and four for soundcard two etc, or can I load different soundfonts into banks one and two for each soundcard? At the moment the soundfonts are getting confused and the wrong soundfonts are being played. I suspect that banks are getting loaded on top of each other. Does anyone have a really good handle on this, and can help me out?

Thanks,

Mick Berg.

Each card is independant - each synth on each card is also independant.
But by default - while loading a SF in to a bank for one synth, it will load in to BOTH synths - unless the option of what synth to load that SF into is changed.(screen in KX SF loader to select which BANK and SYNTH to load the selected SF file into)

Keep in mind tho - some SF aware hosts may not be capable (or is limited) of supporting multiple SF capable devices.

For instance - in Sonar - dynamically loaded SF's load only into the synth 1 top most SF capable midi device only.
