There are basicalle 2 ways to start a synth:
1.) as a standalone program. You have to set it up to use the correct
audio driver. In Rosegarden you have a MIDI instrument as its
representation.
2.) as a DSSI synth plugin. It integrates into Rosegarden and its JACK
connection AND it won't suffer from ALSA MIDI latencies. In
Rosegarden you have a synth plugin instrument.
Fortunately some synths are available both as a standalone program and
as a DSSI plugin, including fluidsynth and zyn.
