settings for those apps. If this doesn't work, an app IMO is completely
useless.
It does have some interesting sounds. If I want those sounds I will use
it, but I am not much of a keyboards person and so tend not to experiment
in that area as much.
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.
