Q3) How can I change the number of parts, voices to ADSynth, effects, etc. ?
-A3) Look in src/globals.h and change there theese values. You don't have to change anything else, just recompile all. But most settings must be below 128. As the rule of the thumb if a setting is 128 or below 128, please don't make it bigger than 128. Anyway, I don't belive that you'll need more than 128 for theese settings; for example you don't need 128(or more) effects same time? That's why I put the limit of 128 (using 7 bits of char).

-A4) Look in "Makefile.inc" from "src/" directory for more information. It is highly recomanded that the Jack samplerate to be equal to ZynAddSubFX samplerate (SAMPLE_RATE from globals.h), otherwise the resampling will be done and this will decrease the quality a bit.

It might be possible that the latency will be very high. If this happens, you have to set the environment variable PA_MIN_LATENCY_MSEC to a value that represents the latency in miliseconds.
- Eg: (in autoexec.bat or launched before running zynaddsubfx) "set PA_MIN_LATENCY_MSEC=50"
- Warning: if the value is too low, you might ecounter severe dropouts on zynaddsubfx. You'll have to set to a higher value and turn off automated background tasks (like virus scanners, email clients, etc.).
- If you have more cards, you can select the desired card where you can play audio with the evironment variable "PA_RECOMMENDED_OUTPUT_DEVICE"
