It definitely has some unique features: the delays are fun, for 
instance, because they can be modulated by LFOs, and it's also one of 
the few softsynths I know of (the only one I can think of off-hand for 
Linux, in fact) that can take audio input and run it through its 
filter/envelopes, much like many hardware synths can. That opens up some 
interesting possibilities.

It takes a lot to get me to use an external JACK softsynth these days, 
though -- I rarely even use Hydrogen any more. If it's not a plugin 
(preferably LV2, though native VST will do in a pinch), I'm pretty 
unlikely to use it, unless it's the only option available to get the 
result I'm after.

Thanks
