I have howto (only in finnish, sorry), but it has lots of screenshots 
that should helps you:

http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Ubuntu_Studio


There is section - "Avataan Qsynth" - and on that section is two links 
for soundfonts, I keep them in my own web-side, because soundfonts are 
little bit hard to find even with Google for Qsynth.

Direct links for soundfonts, I got two of them:

And there is one old one howto for Dapper, use it carefully for Gutsy:

And one more thing - are you using realtime kernel?

For that you need change few things - see "Muutoksia asetustiedostoissa" 
at my howto.
