Re: midi plugins vs soft synths vs synth plugins

It's got to be something like 15 years since I last tried using plugins in
Rosegarden - and I can't even remember how to do it! I found the ones available
very difficult to use, but the audio ones *slightly* easier post-processing in
Audacity.

By comparison, if you are running MIDI over DIN leads to an external synth then
there is at least a 1mS granularity, which may be noticeable under some
circumstances. However if running MIDI entirely within the machine I've found
granularity and latency to be quite insignificant - and you have far more
routing flexibility than as a plugin.

I can't comment on Zyn - I've not seen it for about 8 years!
Yoshi originally had LADSPA support. Whether it still does, and how you'd find
out, I have no idea.

The bottom line (as I always say) is try everything then stick with what you
like.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
