Well, I can only speak for myself, but as I understand it, using Zyn
engines in a plug-in form would not work for me. Many of the sounds I
create use combined multiples of all of the synth engines and
cascaded effects.

I wouldn't want to attempt to re-create these. I found that even quite
small changes in Yoshimi made a dramatic difference to what I was
hearing. Also, I suspect that managing 'nests' of plugins could become
very tedious. The Zyn xmz format suits me fine.
