Hmmm, I had tried it as root, I tried as a normal user and it worked much 
better. I could also switch patches in the GUI. Editing the sounds seemed 
very tempermental though, I think I managed to change some parameter but not 
a lot...
The GUI takes a little getting used to also, but for some reason that's the 
norm for synths ;)

Lastly, updating it to a DSSI would be a great feat for the integration 
possibilities.
