Hi everybody,

I'd like to learn more about how to use zynaddsubfx. I know the basic
setup and I understand the most obvious parameters, but is there
something like a manual or an "advanced" tutorial somewhere?

Hi, this
http://wiki.linuxmusicians.com/doku.php?id=zynaddsubfx_manual
was a good read for me; it gives an overview of zyn/yoshimi's internal
workings and proceeds to explain pretty much every knob.

From my limited understanding there are some *major* improvements
yoshimi brought in performance over zynaddsubfx, and I don't think
there is any reason why you should be using zyn instead of yoshimi.

One reason I switched to using Yoshimi instead of Zyn was because Zyn would frequently simply hang, unresponsive, when running JACK at what I considered low latencies (8-16ms). (Other folk on the list probably don't consider that low latency at all.) Yoshimi didn't have that problem.

I THINK Yoshimi uses more CPU than Zyn, never checked to measure.

The Yoshimi UI is cleaner than Zyn's, more readable. I think both of them would benefit by realizing that the typical graphics UI now is much higher resolution than the cramped little spaces the UI seems to be designed for, but that's could be just my opinion.
