Generally, you add a modulator to the soundfont that maps a CC value
to one of the synthesis controls (if there isn't a default
one). Unfortunately roomsize (and the other reverb model parameters)
can't be changed like that; the only control you have is over the
level of reverb being mixed into the output.

Looks like there needs to be a better way to set the reverb model,
that's a missing piece here.
