I would recommend you try running Aspect (non-free but best GUI synth
plugin for Linux) or Noisemaker (best FOSS GUI synth plugin) under Carla,
my fave unfinished plugin host. You can automate and control most
everything under these synths and at least Aspect lets you configure a list
of configs or presets that you can switch through via MIDI but both synths
sound fantastic. You can easily run at least one or two instances of
Noisemaker without xruns on a Atom netbook and so that means you get a good
few (4 or 5x) as many instances of Aspect running as well instead because
Aspect is that much more efficient than its best open source alternative
Noisemaker.

lightweight (capable

Not all of these are essential but I would like it to start up and
interact with my kb without too much typing on-stage!
I do have a real soft spot for whysynth but the midi learn and recall of
state seem tricky/impossible with ghostess?
I would also like suggestions for organs (Beatrix?), electric pianos,
romplers.. I am seriouslh considering a solid state keyboard or sound
module, but it seems it should be possible with linux...
Suggestions for reasonably priced hardware (2nd hand?) Options would also
be interesting...
