Depends on your definition of "synth" I guess.
For one thing, there are a staggering number of csound patches on the net.
The problem is that few of them are plug-and-play in the way
that a hardware synth is. E.g. if a csound orc isn't designed to be
driven via midi, you have to hack that in yourself.
