I'm not sure who is quoting who here, but I'll say that for all it's
problems Zyn, is far and away my synth of choice. I haven't found
another that even comes close. It has to be treated with care, but
nevertheless I can run it happily with jack at 5.2ms latency with very
few problems.
Why does it need more default patches? I thought the whole idea was for
people to create their own sounds, like I do (and a lot of other people
do). Personally, I think people have become too accustomed to having
everything delivered on a plate.
No synth of Zyn's complexity (and flexibility) could be 'transparent' to
program, unless you remove a large chunk of the features that make Zyn
what it is.
My advice to anyone new to Zyn, is always to load a patch that's
somewhere near what you want and start fiddling about. Every time you
get a 'Ooo that's nice' moment *immediately* save that voice, then
carry on. Eventually you get a feel for things and can then start
creating from a clean slate. It takes time and patience, but so does
learning to ride a bike when you're a kid.
