-Yoshimi is a software synthesizer, a live soft-DSP audio signal generator.  It receives MIDI signals as input either from ALSA MIDI or Jackd, performs huge collections of programmed computations to generate signals per each MIDI command it receives and combinations thereof, and sends digital audio out via either direct ALSA output or through Jackd.  It does not use soundfonts or samples, but instead generates all of its signals on the fly as calculations.  It is therefore a direct descendant of all programmable synthesizers, including the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer and the earliest Moogs, on through the Oberheims and others, all the way up through the modern Korgs, Rolands, Yamahas and many more.  It contains many different algorithms, ranging from some relatively recent to the originals, all of them easily controllable by GUI knobs, sliders, value entries, et cetera.
-
-It comes with several collections of patches, some of them quite large, and there are more for download elsewhere.  All of its patches can be edited immediately in GUI.  A maximum of sixteen (16) patches can be loaded and run at any one time; each can have their own MIDI channel assigned; and such a configuration can be saved in a file as one general setup among many.  Some Yoshimi patches are *extremely* complex and/or require extraordinary computations, and so Yoshimi is designed to enable multiple entire setups to be run as independent instances, to take fullest advantage of multiple CPUs, larger contingents of RAM, Jack2, and other situations of heavy demand.
-
-Yoshimi is a "fork" of [ZynAddSubFX](http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/), which was created by [Nasca Octavian Paul](http://www.paulnasca.com) and now maintained by [Mark McCurry](http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/credits.html) with others; it is a project of profound excellence continuing with extraordinary strength. Since the fork there has been considerable code exchanged between the two projects.  Many patches designed for one, work with the other in the same way or similarly; however, Yoshimi is not ZynAddSubFX, the projects are distinct in a number of ways.
