My workaround is set up a complete parameter file per song, then launch Zyn by running the file (need option -l). I then kill Zyn when I have finished with that parameter setup (wash, rinse, repeat). Zyn seems to take up more processor time for every instrument loaded (up to the maximum of 16) so I make sure that saved parameter files only contain the ones I want. > So frustration expression past, has anybody done what I want to do, > being using Zyn under real time circumstances?
