Zyn isn't missing a "deep sound

Last time I looked, Zyn had tons of presets and the ones I tried
weren't bad at all, just often a little bit too effect ladden. I
haven't used it in a track yet, so I can't say how useful they would
be there, but still the situation is better than with most other Linux
synths.
They are very usable, just overloaded. By turning off e.g. one kind
of synthesis and adjusting a filter or attack time, they become well
usable, but not unique. To adjust the existing sounds, there's no need
for a new GUI. Zyn and Yoshimi already provide what is provided by a
lot of synth from the 90th. A lot of wanted and useful sounds, but
nothing I would pay for in 2016. At least making a recording of MIDI CC
data, as part of the sound, triggered when playing a note, as the TG33
does, would be helpful. IIRC this should be provided for Yoshimi soon or
later.
