Of course, there are other options for the IIgs. Hasn't anyone implemented an ensoniq-based synth supporting the IIgs keyboard for piano-style playing?

Then there's Poly-Sons 3.0 from Barbar de St. Cyr, also from France,
which is basically Super Syntetizer taken to the next level.
By doing a bit of data mining I found Polysons 5.1 :) It is now open source and can be downloaded here:
http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/GS.WorldView/Resources/GS.AUDIOWARES/"Polysons v5.1 is a very unique and advanced program. The only one of its kind, ever developed for the IIGS. It was formally a copyrighted freeware. I hope, with its release to the public domain, some talented IIGS programmer or group of programmers, will continue with improvements and updates.
It's a very impressive MIDI sequencer, advanced sound designer and has many unique potentials with audio development abilities. The source codes are for the French version, which is included. The English translated version of the program was released some time ago. For those wishing a copy of the English version, this is it!
<clip>Jean and I, both hope the public domain release of Polysons v5.1 and its source codes will stimulate more productive and creative development efforts, for the IIGS and its music users."
SoundAce can also be downloaded there."SoundAce v2.2 is the only FreeWare release of a slotless or slot assigned digitizer control program and sound editor, with many exclusive and unique special effects, found with no other IIgs programs such as; Multiple Undos up to (3), Pitchbends up to (4), Echos up to (9), multi-sample mix (DUB/LAYER), with reverse sound directive option, (multiple-select and minipulation/edit) sample/sound oscilloscope twin window functions."
Thanks very much, Mitchell, for the tip on Poly-Sons (Polysons). It is amazing to me that this piece of software is so obscure. I'm also quite happy to now have TrackIt.
