While I agree the GUI is poor and could do with quite a lot of work, I don't know about the rest, although there are changes I would like in the way voice banks are managed. This all causes me quite a lot of concern. I find that Zyn gives unparallelled results, and conceptually most closely matches my grasp of sound. I am concerned about talk of unspecified jack problems, and also the lack of any visible development by the originator. I, personally, would be willing to expend a great deal of effort to help revive Zyn, and would be quite happy to put my hand in my pocket as well. -- Will J G
