[21:54] <gordonjcp> evening
[21:55] <gordonjcp> I've got some softsynth stuff I'd like to port to a Linux plugin
[21:55] <gordonjcp> what's the current favourite for that?
[22:57] <OvenWerks> gordonjcp: it depends what kind of sound you would like.
[23:03] <OvenWerks> gordonjcp: for sound font sounds: fluid synth, either as a jack client or as a plugin. For additive/subtractive synthisis: zynaddsubfx or yoshimi. For piano: pianotech (non-free) for B3:setBfree. for pipe organ: aeolus.
[23:09] <OvenWerks> For a dx7 type synth: dexed.
[23:12] <OvenWerks> fluidsynth does have piano sounds too and there are sample player plugins around (I don't remember their name) but I like the dynamics of pianotech (speaking as a non-piano player :)
