Yoshimi – software synthesizer

Yoshimi is an open source software synthesizer, a live soft-DSP audio signal generator.

It receives MIDI signals as input either from ALSA MIDI or JACK, and sends digital audio out via either direct ALSA output or through Jackd.

Yoshimi does not use soundfonts or samples, but instead generates all of its signals on the fly; it is a live soft-DSP synthesizer, it does not use soundfonts or samples. Yoshimi was forked from ZynAddSubFx.

Features include:

• Automatic JACK connections.
• Instrument presets.
• Hundreds of pre-defined instruments.
