<p>Yoshimi is a software synthesizer for Linux based on the 2.4.0
release of <a href="http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank"
title ="and of course, original Zyn!">ZynAddSubFX</a>, written by
Nasca Octavian Paul. Yoshimi delivers the same synth capabilities,
along with very good Jack and Alsa midi/audio functionality.
</p>
<p>
I've been a ZynAddSubFX lover pretty much since it was first offered.
Sadly though, Zyn has long been a case of flawed genius. It's audio
and midi capabilities have not kept pace with the evolution and
infrastructure improvements of Linux audio.
<p>
Performance with Jack was poor. Of recent years I've become more
demanding in that respect, so I started looking at the code. I tried
working with the official project team, but it proved impossible. We
have vastly different and somewhat incompatible design, development
and performance philosphies.
</p>
<p>
And so Yoshimi came to be, as a Linux only derivative of ZynAddSubFX.
Yoshi attempts to do everything original Zyn does, but to do it well
on Linux. A number of people have given time and energy to bring
Yoshimi to life <i>(and keep it that way!)</i>. My thanks go to you all.
</p>
<p>For sheer fun and excitement, you can't beat the Will J. Godfrey
collection of instruments. Overdrive in particular has proven
therapeutic qualities.</p>
<p>Come, hear angel horns and devil trombones! You are invited!</p>

<p>
The music of The Flaming Lips has long held a special place in the
lives of myself and my family. As Yoshimi (the synth) evolved and
needed a name, the lyrics of The Flaming Lips' song
<a href="http://www.flaminglips.com/history/discography/yoshimi-battles-the-pink-robots/" target="_blank">
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots</a> came strongly to mind. Yoshimi
it was to be.
