In this context, it might help if you could define "as good as possible".
A common trait among oss developers is that they'll first build what they
want and need, then consider extending further when presented with feature
requests that offer worthwhile value to the general body of users, and
often more importantly, to the dev(s) in question. If you really want
something to change, you'll probably need to spell it out fairly
specifically. Then, you'll usually find there's a good chance of it
happening. But then oss development often reminds me of a sign on the back
wall of a second-hand VW parts place I used to frequent (a lot!) - "Price
may vary according to customer attitude!"

Hehe, my concern here is the quality of Linux audio especially when it comes to the modular approach and automation. I quoted a guy who has pretty some experience in a studio and with automation I assume. But don't ask me how you should do it, cause I'm the last person who is capable of telling you how it should be in this area ;)

But of course it would be nice if such a fine app as zynaddsubfx/ yoshimi is, to have good automation possibilities. If you want, you can start an topic for suggestions. Or talk to the phasex or ams devs.

Kind regards,
