Hello. I requested this months if not years ago. Could anyone play
all presets of Bristol/ZynAddSubFx/Juno and similar software synths to
a flac/ogg/mp3 file?
Or, for a start, could anyone generate a MIDI file which goes through
all presets and plays something simple? Can MIDI data be used to change
the instrument over all presets sequentially from 1 to N?
If not, I may write an OSC based program which does the same. But is
such a program needed? Could I just write OSC commands to a file and
feed the file to the input of the synth with existing Linux socket
program of some sort?
Yep, all sounds played sequentially in one audio file would be nice
as a quick reference what sounds are available. I would like to
do the same with commercial synths like Yamaha FM synths and analogue
modelling synths.

One would want a variety of playing styles for each patch - or at
least both stacatto and legato playing, as well as both monophonic and
polyphonic.

Very good idea! I hope somebody has the time and the
energy to do it.
I'd like to learn to use these software synthesizers.
I have heard Van Halen used Oberheim OS-XA on their
hit single "Jump", but when I tried to get the same
sound out of Bristol OS-X emulation, I couldn't get
any sound near that. But yes, I do understand, it's my
fault. I have never played the original Oberheim OB-XA
nor do I know how Van Halen got that sound by using
that synth (they have probably used some effects with
the synth in the studio), but I do want to learn! I
want to be able to play "Jump" synth parts with
Bristol and I know it's possible if I'd just learn how
to do it. So, sound samples and instructions would be
welcome! Thanks!

I would not say it is a fault anywhere. I have never had an OB-Xa to
actually get this sound out of, but I have also never spoken to any owner
who has been able to get "Jump" out of their synth either, everybody had
tried to and a few had at least come "close, but no bacon". When I was
writing this emulation I had sounds come out that were reminicent of Strange
Little Girl by The Stranglers, Greenfield being a big Oberheim fan, but I
will admit that I have not been able to get them back. The sound is out
there though. BTW, the bristol OB-Xa is two synths, no? There is an up/down
button to toggle between the two layers, and that will massively affect the
sounds being generated. The keyboard should also be in layer mode to double
up the sounds rather than have 10 note poly or split keyboard.
Regarding programme changes in Bristol, these are currently not implemented
either. Next major release.

I'm a bit confused here. I don't see how you CAN go though all the Zyn
presets - or are you really meaning the voice/patch banks?
As you can create any voices and banks of voices that you like 'All'
becomes a piece of elastic!
Also, as far as I know there is no way to get MIDI messages to change
voices, and I don't believe Paul has any intention of doing that.

I guess just some general softsynth demos would do
just fine.
What I'd like to know is - how good are these soft
synths? If you go to URL below, you can hear Van
Halen's "1984" intro song that was played with
Oberheim OB-Xa. What I'd like to know is - is it
possible to play that song with software synthesizers?
I've been playing guitar since 1984 and I do not know
much about hardware synthesizers and I know even less
about software synthesizers. But I wanna learn this
stuff!

I use Zyn quite heavily (not that I'm suggesting I can manage more
than a fraction of its capabalities). Thorsten uses om amongst other
things etc.
If you would like to grab http://www.folderol.ukfsn.org/Collection.zip,
unzip it and put it in your Zyn banks directory then, using the virtual
keyboard you can hear what these sound like - That's on top of the
rather large range that Paul has provided by default!

Unfortunately I can't get this to play. I'm never terribly bothered
about getting my browser to play stuff. The streaming quality is usually
pretty naff so if it doesn't work immediately and won't allow a download
I don't usually bother.

After about a year, I think I am just beginning to understand Zyn's
capabilities. Now I have to learn how to use them!
I suspect that the real limit is not Zyn itself, but the speed of your
processor.
