3) amsynth - works very nicely, but maybe not able to create the pad sounds etc. that I need.
Check here for extra banks that contain some very interesting and usable sounds: http://forum.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9982&p=31975#p31807
4) Carla - too fiddly (for me) for live use. Now, here's what I seem to have come down on. Amazingly all these run on this little computer at the same time, and are capable of full polyphony with no major xrun issues (1024 samples on jackd - might be possible to reduce this further, but it is perfectly usable for a midi keyboard): 1) setBfree - lovely! 2) yoshimi - amazing!
You should try latest git, it contains some optimizations that lower CPU usage drastically: https://launchpad.net/~autostatic/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/2769495/+listing-archive-extra
The main issue I have at present is with yoshimi - i would like to change program (and ideally bank) using the midi controller, but this doesn't seem to work with the 1.0 version from kxstudio. Is this not possible with yoshimi at present, or is there a development version I could use?
Switching banks via MIDI is in the experimental 0.062 branch, not in the stable 1.0 branch. If you'd like to see it in the stable branch please add a feature request here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=295223&atid=1246615 This functionality has been proposed several times so it should deserve some more attention.
