You can send to the DLS synth when it's wrapped in a separate application, ie. SimpleSynth. To use it within Pd would be extra work, which is possible but lower priority when you can connect Pd to anything, including SimpleSynth.
For Linux, there is Timidity but it is a user space app and not part of the system, so it will always be separate. You will need too use something like connect to connect PD to it when both are running.

I noticed Pd in windows can use an internal MS GM player, see:

And seems Apple also has a similar thing, called "DLS Sound Set" or something like it that other softwares use (like Live and Max) but Pd can't see it. I wonder if there's a way for Pd to see it or if there's something in the way.
Thanks
ps. while we're at it, does Linux have something like that too?
