6 ZynAddSubFX is a fully featured musical software synthesizer for Linux, MacOS, BSD, and Windows.
7 ZynAddSubFX exposes a wide array of synthesis parameters to make it flexible tool for sound design and a fun experience for playing instruments.

14 * Polyphonic with support for legato and mono playing modes.
15 * Three synthesizer engines:
16 ** Additive Synthesis for classic synth sounds composed of a variety of voices with powerful modulation. This exposes modulators ranging from LFOs and envelopes to oscillator modulators for FM, PM, and AM.
17 ** Subtractive Synthesis for creating variable bandwidth harmonics from filtered white noise.
18 ** PAD synthesis for creating beautiful pads and other instruments.
19 * Powerful waveform generator with up to 128 sine/non-sine harmonics.
20 * A variety of filters including analogue modeled filters, formant filters, and state variable filters.
21 * Envelopes can have ADSR (or ASR, etc..) modes or can be free modes (with any shape).
22 * Effects for Reverb, Echo, Chorus/Flange, Phasing, Wave-shaping, Equalizing, Dynamic Filtering with flexible signal routing.
23 * Instruments can be organized in kits, which allows you to make drum kits or layered instruments; this makes possible to use more than one instrument for a single part. It is possible to choose what items from the kit should be processed by the Part's effects.
24 * Randomness settings to create subtle differences in each sound to help create that familiar analogue warmth.
25 * Microtonal capabilities with any scale, up to 128 notes per octave, and key mapping.
26 * Extensive MIDI/Audio driver support including JACK, ALSA, OSS, and PortAudio.
27 * Session Management Support via LASH/NSM.
28 * Plugin Support via DSSI/LV2/VST.
29 * Over 1100 high quality instruments included.

48 - MXML-2.5+ - from https://www.msweet.org/mxml/
49 - zlib - from https://www.zlib.net/
50 - Liblo - networked open sound control
54 - FLTK (for the oldest user interface)
55 - NTK (for the old user interface)
