Hehe, my concern here is the quality of Linux audio especially when it comes
to the modular approach and automation. I quoted a guy who has pretty some
experience in a studio and with automation I assume. But don't ask me how
you should do it, cause I'm the last person who is capable of telling you
how it should be in this area ;)

But of course it would be nice if such a fine app as zynaddsubfx/ yoshimi
is, to have good automation possibilities. If you want, you can start an
topic for suggestions. Or talk to the phasex or ams devs.

Kind regards,
