That's one thing I don't understand about softsynths nowadays.
10 years ago I was using a program called Vaz that emulated a
3-oscillator analog synth with portamento and ring mod and other
nifty stuff, and ran without a hiccup on my 100MHz 486 box
running Win95. I know Zyn (like other modern softsynths) is
capable of doing a lot more, but shouldn't it be able to do a
monophonic two-oscillator synth on a P3 of any speed without
hiccupping and without needing to install unofficial kernel
patches and whatnot?
Tempting to try and find a copy of Vaz to see how it would
perform under Wine.
