I want to put together a stack for hobbyist midi music composition. I understand there are a few more components to it than one might expect, but I think VMPK and Qtracer are going to be part of it?

Any tutorial links or suggestions appreciated!

    Surge XT can do 98% of everything I need. It has a ton of waveforms, filter types, and modulation options. It’s a great synth.

    In the rare case that SurgeXT can’t do what I want, I turn to zynaddsubfx. It is complicated, but really one of the wildest synths out there.

    Last resort is this open source fork of VCV rack I found. So at the end of the day if you need to you can just build the synth you need.
