How to render MIDI output with .sf2 (SoundFont 2) files?

[superfury]

Anyone knows the steps performed in rendering MIDI output (to the MIDI I/O port) using .sf2 files? I've found the documentation giving information about the different segments in the file, but in what order are they processed generally?

Could someone give me the steps taken when rendering MIDI from current MIDI channel output (instrument tone, instrument status (pressed, holding etc.)) to wave output?

So can anyone tell me the steps taken from MIDI input (to the MIDI device) to the final PCM output?
