Try it, if it works - nice for you.
But Dynebolic has its pitfalls and as it makes you work as root by
default and does not have a real package management for installing
additional software it is not a typical inter operable Linux-system.

I usually load several instruments using the part-switcher in Zyns main
panel. BTW: avoid the "Beginner"-mode of the interface like the plague!
It encumbers the possibilities to control Zyn dramatically.

The part-switcher (the box with the number 1 left/middle in the panel)
allows to switch between up to 8 parts in Zyn each part can load one
separate instrument. The instruments can have their own MIDI-channels
thus you can send notes to a percussion-set on channel 1 and other notes
(from another track in RG) to a lead-synth on channel 2 etc.

In RG you use the Midi-device setup tool to find out what stupid cryptic
name Zynadd has been given today (usual "General MIDI device") you can
change that name and then map a track with right-click on that tracks
head and choosing "new name for zynadd/number of the channel you would
like to send notes to".

the marriage between RG and Zyn is quite harmonic in my sessions ;-)

good luck
