if more than one sf2 is loaded, you may have a bank offset on the 2nd 
sf2 and 3rd. etc. so their instrument presets be addressable by the 
original bank no. plus respective offset.

that's the way for you may address the hidden/overlapped instruments 
across several stacked sf2's and thus be possible to assign or map to a 
channel slot; it is this map of 16-channel slots that is called a 
"qsynth preset" and here managed on the channels window of course.

hth.
