Josh,
   Hi. I'm not much of a fluid-synth user yet, but I'll outline the things I
think I look to battery for:

1) An up front GUI that's pretty easy to see and understand (important for
us 'command-line challenged' types!)
2) Uses 16 & 24-bit wave files easily
3) Assigns specific samples to both specific MIDI notes AND channels. Has
tuning, ADSR envelope plus limited plug in support for each note.
4) Velocity support - maps velocity to different samples. (VERY important
for using .gig files. Not typical of sound font based tools.)
5) Easy to mix samples from different sets to make a new set.

   I would really be happy if Swami might start by reading .gig files and
allowing me to export things like a kick from one set and a snare from
another, save them and load them in a Battery like tool.

   I hope this gives you some ideas.

Cheers,
Mark
