Okay, so I've put together a little webpage to share my music with the
world. Everything was composed in Linux with the exceptions of a few
sounds borrowed from FreeSound. I haven't really finished the writing
part yet because I have to go back through my files and credit all the
proper FreeSounders, but I figured I'd put this out there for your
listening horror, lol. All honest opinions are welcome, I have all
the original ardour tracks too in case anybody would like to remix a
few. In any case, here is the Earl,
http://airlynx.sitesled.com
Oh yeah, and if anybody has a more original title for the website I'd
be happy to hear them, I'm not exactly happy with the Digital
Impressions thing, it's kinda cliche in my book.

Download links added. I know the mp3 player has a way to download the
songs by right-clicking on them, but I added the links anyways for
those of you that don't have Flash or use text-based browsers. Thanks
for the suggestion Thorsten.

Nice!
I like "Little People", "Persistance", "Retitled", and
"Nexgen".
I also enjoyed "Perfectly Normal"... that sound always reminds me of the
guitar/drum intro to "Kill the Guy with the Ball" by Steve Vai.
I'm also amazed that you got Zyn to behave so well on a 1.1Ghz P3.

That's one thing I don't understand about softsynths nowadays.
10 years ago I was using a program called Vaz that emulated a
3-oscillator analog synth with portamento and ring mod and other
nifty stuff, and ran without a hiccup on my 100MHz 486 box
running Win95. I know Zyn (like other modern softsynths) is
capable of doing a lot more, but shouldn't it be able to do a
monophonic two-oscillator synth on a P3 of any speed without
hiccupping and without needing to install unofficial kernel
patches and whatnot?
Tempting to try and find a copy of Vaz to see how it would
perform under Wine.

Pure Data has always performed well for me on lower end hardware and
i've never run anything but Debian pre-compiled kernels with no pre-empt
stuff. Of course, it depends what you're doing, but definately for a
couple of oscillators doing simple subtractive/additive synthesis it
works beautifully on slower machines. Not sure about 100MHz though!
Started using it on a 500MHz machine, so that is definately ok.

I never said Zyn ran without a hiccup or two, I guess I just have a
lot more patience since I run slower/older hardware. It depends on
how much I do at once really, I usually record each track out
separately to avoid all that. Occasionally I have Zyn lock up the
entire computer if I hit too many notes at once or use the sustain
pedal too much. Other than that I have a lot of stuck notes, but I
usually just flow with them until I have the timing right to hit the
panic button, lol! I just adhere to the KISS policy, Keep It Simple
Stupid.

Wow. I record track by track if I have to, but lock-ups are
beyond my bearable pain threshold :)
I like Blue Silence 2, except for the drums which I have to
say are bad enough to ruin it. The easy fix would be to just
remove them. Oh, and I have a very strong feeling of having
heared that melody before :/

Heheh, you should have heard our actual drummer on that one. Our
roommate got all excited when he heard us jamming, said he used to
play drums, went out and bought a $400 drum set. I think when he said
he used to play drums that he meant he had a toy set when he was 3. I
have mixed feelings about the drums in that myself. They fit the
timing rather well, but they seem a little too plain and boring, but
distract from the song sometimes.

Wow! I'm amazed you have that much difficulty with Zyn.
I've never had it lock the entire machine up, but then again it sounds
like I have a much faster machine than you do, with more memory.
What distro do you use, or are you on Windows?

I use Fedora Core 3 with Planet CCRMA packages, including their
realtime kernel patch. I tried upgrading to FC5 once and everything
got screwy on me, so I just stick to FC3. If everything works, why
upgrade?

Indeed that "yay-ay" sound!
I am impressed there's someone on this list who knows Vai :) (He is
one my of my favourite guitar players, and I had the fortune to play
with him back in 1992 during a clinic he did here in Rome).
