For original poster, maybe just need to assign whatever event aftertouch 
generates to whatever fluid/qsynth/Zyn/Yoshimi control you want it to alter?

While I'm sure Cal can explain the Zyn<>Yoshimi relationship, Yoshimi 
isn't a "successor" to Zyn. More of a fork. Cal has his own goals for 
Yoshimi, including better support for RT kernels, JACK and supporting 
more MIDI events. In addition to other features.
