I'm the person who made the suggestion, just wanted to say that's a great page. It's really helping to figure out what are the desired contributions. Only mildly related but I was actually looking for a synthesizer the past few weeks (I was just composing stuff I could actually play (and notate) myself before). Part of what was intimidating me about it was the user interfaces of that class of software are always super difficult to get started with... So I guess you gained a new user who does have a programming background!

Yeah, there's a lot of new lingo when you get started with synth interfaces (both from the design and usage perspectives). One of the goals I had for the new user interface was to start integrating more visualizations as a means of giving users feedback on what they're doing. When you get started out, you just want to mess around an gain an intuitive feel for how to use something and what knobs do. Unfortunately many soft-synths miss out on that user feedback (since it's hard to do right).
