[linux-audio-user] Seeking advice on a suitable CLI synth engine

[S. Massy]

Hi,

For a while now I've wanted to fiddle with a reasonably powerful
synthesis engine but haven't found a suitable one yet. I've been dying
to give csound a good try but haven't succeeded in compiling it yet, and
I've tried cmix but have found it a bit too "low-level" for my humble
tastes. My problem is that most of the interesting synthesis engines and
synth emulators today seem to come with a GUI and I can't use one, nor
do I care to, to be frank. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a
fairly powerful CLI synth engine I might try?

Thanks,
S.M.
