At first glance that seems a candidate for a QSignalMapper.

Create a signal mapper.
Create as many actions as synths.
Since it seems SynthI takes a string to create a synth, you would
register (setMapping) every action with the mapper using that string,
and connect every trigger signal to its map() slot.
Then create an addDSSISynth(QString) slot in Song and connect the
mapper mapped(QString) signal to it.

That's how I would first think of going about it, but I don't know the
application in detail and I might be missing something.
