[linux-audio-user] open source soft synth for osX

[Atte André Jensen]

Hi

One of my friends has gotten quite interrested in my linuxbased csound 
setup, but after talking a bit I figured I'd rather start him up with 
something more "easy". He've only done some mild tweaking of presets in 
wavetable synths. He's a bit impatient, I think he would rather prefer 
to "just play", although he has some interrest in shaping the sounds.

He's running osX (G4 laptop, 1.5Ghz or so), and would like something 
open source that will:
* play samples, stuff like piano, rhodes
* do descent hammond, pref with leslie simulation
* a few synth sounds (pad, lead) here and there
* runs under osX
* is OSS
* can be controlled from logic
* can be used in realtime, controlled by keyboards

I think it would be best for him if it was one package, since this gives 
him less to learn. I think it should be gui-based to some extend 
although I didn't discuss that with him.

I promissed him to ask around here, so here goes: Is such a thing 
available??? Or would you recommend other directions that I was thinging of?
