To make the dispositions that I downloaded work on OS X, a few minor changes were necessary, as described below. Fortunately, FluidSynth is included built-in to the OS X binary distribution of jOrgan, which was version 3.20 at the time of this writing. The dispositions I looked at were for FluidSynth, also an open source project. JOrgan requires its sounds to be played through a software synth of some sort. I have worked only with dispositions (the virtual organs made to run in jOrgan are called "dispositions") that are made for FluidSynth (see "basics", below), but I'm guessing if you run into a disposition that is intended for some other synth you may be able to figure it out in a similar way to what I did. From the looks of it, the methods described here ought to work on Macs running recent versions of OS X. I have used it successfully under 10.7 (Lion) and 10.9 (Mavericks) on an iMac and a recent MacBookPro. I have not done extensive testing with a lot of different configurations, so you may need to be adventurous in your own setup, but good luck! Most of the people using it seem to be running Windows, and some of the Mac users have had trouble getting it to run, so I hope that these notes might be helpful. JOrgan is an open-source, free, virtual organ, which can be run on several platforms. Tech Files - Simple jOrgan setup on OS X Overview
