Seriously, Fons?

Basically you've just admitted that you have no hands-on experience
with Bitwig. What's worse, you appear to have no hands-on experience
with Ardour 3.

The thing is, neither Bitwig nor Ardour 3 use default synths for MIDI
tracks (A3 does it only for importing). In both cases you specifically
pick the ones that you want. The difference between Bitwig and e.g.
Qtractor is how long it takes you to do that.
