do the proper zynaddsubfx GUI appear on ardour3 ? that is awesiome! but i'm skeptic: show me some evidence, a screenshot would be fine:) ...
as a plugin, zynaddsubfx used to be GUI-less, that's probably why you only see the generic qtractor floating widget which you better ditch/ignore anyway because there's no single parameter for you to tweak in any way (zyn plugin doesn't expose any so the widget is empty of sliders or controls).
it used to be this way (i say used because i don't fire zyn that recently nor often;): you insert the zyn plugin and select the patch at the MIDI track properties side, assigning it as the track's main instrument definition.
nb. all this (the above) used to work only on the DSSI plugin kind; the LV2 one doesn't let you access zyn's original patches, banks or programs last time i checked, so that will leave you dead in the water. sorry :) unless someone has kicked in the lv2_programs extension implementation into zynaddsubfx_lv2, on which case the procedure would be exactly the same as for the DSSI plugin version
