- Comment. There does appear to be some solid independent coverage in google books. Mooonswimmer, did you check those sources in a WP:BEFORE search? 4meter4 ( talk) 17:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. This used to be one of the most commonly used software synths in the Linux pro audio community - as 4meter4 says, Google Books turns up a number of "making music with open source software" kind of sources that describe it from 10-odd years ago. These days people are more likely to use Yoshimi (synthesizer), which is an extended derivative of ZynAddSubFX. Adam Sampson ( talk) 01:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:47, 30 October 2022 (UTC)- Weak Keep. the one linked by Suryabeej does seem to have significant coverage. I am hoping that other sources (perhaps offline) exist to make this notable. 0x Deadbeef→∞ ( talk to me) 13:32, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - I did find a few papers discussing it and a paragraph in Linux Journal which I know aren't the most in-depth sources ever, but they're not trivial either. Given that a lot of the example usages in papers and books I could find were from the early 2000s, I suspect that a lot of the reliable sources that would have existed are now offline or are otherwise not indexed by search engines like Google. - Aoidh ( talk) 04:42, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
