The good thing about it is that the Java sources are available and there is instruction on how to build your own driver for supporting other synth model. I was able to add support for Nova 1 and Korg ER1. Those synths are availlable in the version 0.15 of JSynthLib. I have put the factory patches for those synths {here}.

• ScAleIt : A good freeware to help with music chord/scale. Type some notes on the little piano and it will find the possible chord or scale.

• Freequency : This freeware is very useful for delay time calculation (good for setting your multi delay FX correctly). Choose a BPM and it will give you some possible delay time value to try.
