The amsynth guy accepts contributions. I've sent him some settings which he distributes along with amsynth now.

I think you're probably right, although of the thousands I wouldn't venture
a guess as to how many of those are warez types. More than NI might want to
admit.
That said, Reaktor Session comes with 35-40 prebuilt instruments, and each
instrument has many sounds ready to go. It comes with a large library of
wave files built into the instruments, but they can be extracted and reused
elsewhere. I think the method to that madness is that NI creates enough
usability out of the box to get users really turned on to create more. Then
the library comes, which benefits all the users again.
I'd love to see that happen with one or more of the Linux tools. I simple
don't have the time or interest to become a programmer. When I turn on my PC
and try to write music I need tools that get me there faster. I don't want
to spend an hour grabbing blocks and wiring them together. By the time I get
that done I've lost my inspiration for making music.
I may be the odd man out around here. I'm not sure...
