I have heard several comments to this effect, and also that the code
in Zyn is 'a nightmare' however I have not heard anything specific that
one can really get a handle on.

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.
