OCTAVIAN - http://sourceforge.net/projects/octavian/
Octavian is a realtime software synthesizer for GNU\Linux operating system. Its design is like analog modular synthesizers, so it can be used both as a synth and as an effect processor. Modular tasks separation allows to extend possibilities in a simple way. Modules can be connected between each other via channels. Octavian provides two types of channels: audio and control (MIDI) and they can be freely converted between each other (e.g. MIDI events can be converted to "voltage" in order to control modules which support voltage-controlling and vice versa).
At present moment Octavian is at early beta stage and available via source tarball and CVS only.
Please send your bugreports and wishes to octavian-users@lists.sourceforge.net.
To compile octavian you will need:
- development tools (g++, autoconf, automake, autoheader...)
- FLTK library (tested with version 1.1.2)
- libsndfile library (for player module)
- OSS compatible audio driver
- Wish and luck
Go to top directory and type magic words:
./configure
./make
su root
./make install
You will need to edit your ~/.octavianrc file to mark up directories where native modules and LADSPA plugins can be located. By default /usr/local/lib/octavian and /usr/lib/octavian are used.
