[16:00] <OvenWerk1> re: yoshimi and zynaddsubfx. It looks like we should be switching to zynaddsubfx as it is seeing much more active development.
[16:05] <OvenWerk1> from http://yoshimi.sourceforge.net/ "The two projects are now in wonderfully active, but different, development." That is yoshimi can no longer be considered a replacement for zynadsubfx. It may be worth adding to our meta. Things zyn provides that yosh does not seem to include the ability to use as a plugin (LV2/dssi).
[16:09] <OvenWerk1> zynaddsubfx in our repo for X is one version behind... and there seems to be a new release due out within the next few weeks. The new GUI for ver3.0 looks really nice but version 3 will not be out soon enough for 16.* it seems.
[16:29] <OvenWerk1> specimen may be the next application to die of bitrot... last release in 2007. The fork/replacement petri-foo has not been updated since 2012 though the github site does show some movement last year. I am wondering if samplv1 might be a better replacement. Anyone with some love for sampling/sampleplaying can compare? Are there things one can do that the other(s) can't?
