what are your

zyn is not usable for me without ladish so I want to reach ladish-1.0
first. I want to port zynsub and zynpad too. zynadd needs to export
rest of the parameters and dynparams framework needs improvements
like more hints for host, a way to transfer monitor data from plugin
to host (frequency graphs for example). Bad news is that I'm getting
my motivation lower and lower because it is obvious that most people
want to see zynaddsubfx fixed instead and there is effort to do it.
Also phasex is very good synth and it is easier to add jack midi and
ladish support in it.
I don't think zynaddsubfx can be fixed without almost completely
rewriting it...
Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate cal's work on yoshimi, which
made it a lot more usable, but ultimately I think the current GUI is a
dead end.
What I'd like to see is a synth with all the sounds and features of
zynaddsubfx, but with a GUI that doesn't look like it's still 1990, and
a less monolithic architecture. Having all of zynaddsubfx's synth
engines and effects available as LV2 plugins would be the perfect basis
for that.
