Hi, this 
http://wiki.linuxmusicians.com/doku.php?id=zynaddsubfx_manual
was a good read for me; it gives an overview of zyn/yoshimi's internal
workings and proceeds to explain pretty much every knob.

From my limited understanding there are some *major* improvements
yoshimi brought in performance over zynaddsubfx, and I don't think
there is any reason why you should be using zyn instead of yoshimi.

have fun,
