   Create a Device for each synth.  Connect those devices to the 
appropriate MIDI interface.  Then select the appropriate instruments 
(channels).  Sounds like you've got that working.

   There are three ways to remember your setup.  (Perhaps this is the 
"environment" you mentioned?)

1. Once you've got everything configured, save it as an .rg file.  Let's 
say "studio.rg" for this example.  Then on your next composition, use 
Studio > Import Studio From File... and specify studio.rg.  Now you have 
your setup (environment?) in your new composition.

2. Save your composition as a template using File > Save As Template... 
Then use File > Open Template... to get to that starting point.

3. Use autoload.rg.  If your setup doesn't change, you can save it as an 
autoload.rg file (in ~/.local/share/rosegarden/autoload) and it will 
come up immediately on rg launch as the default initial composition.

   No.
