[ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
I think its ready to release into the wild....
Meet the Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth, an LV2 additive synth plugin where harmonics are added or not according a rule of cellular automata. What the heck does that mean you ask? Well you can read about it on wikipeda under elementary cellular automaton, or you can install it and play around and figure out how to use it. It has unlimited polyphony, 2 LFOs, 5 waveforms, up to 16 harmonics + root, and ADBSSR envelope generator, and unlimited fun (or your money back). The readme has some more details too.
Find the source at https://sourceforge.net/projects/infamousplugins/
Play it in your favorite LV2 host. If you just want to hear what it sounds like, listen to my little demo at https://soundcloud.com/ssj71/casynth-demo.
Enjoy.

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
The readme in the GIT page mentioned that I need qmake but...
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. Apparantly, there is qt4-qmake and qt5-qmake, but I'm unsure which to use.
Code: Select all
grayson@grayson-desktop:~/Downloads/infamousplugins-code$ ./install.sh
qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''

I don't have a way of editing my post (and the quote button is missing) but I've installed qt4-dev-tools and it seems to install successfully.

I guess you selected the 'Bl@ck' theme ('board style') at http://www.linuxmusicians.com/ucp.php?i=165 ?GraysonPeddie wrote:I don't have a way of editing my post (and the quote button is missing)

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
Yeah, I did. I'll switch it back. Pardon me for going off-topic. I should have started a thread in the appropriate forum.
(Update: Got the edit button back with the default theme. It seems the Bl@ck theme is unfinished. Once again, I apologize for going off-topic.)

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
Thanks Grayson. I'm a pretty lousy packager, so I don't even know exactly the dependencies really required. I'll update the readme.GraysonPeddie wrote: but I've installed qt4-dev-tools and it seems to install successfully

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
You are missing dependencies. If you are on an ubuntu based system install lv2-dev and this should resolve it. If you are on some other system, you need the lv2 headers and appropriate symbolic links for gcc to work however your system does it, for which I'm no ninja. Let me know. Thanks.

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
Ok, I'll see to install the dev file. Then, do I have to "undo" the first compilation attempt in some way, or is it sufficient to re-try the install?ssj71 wrote:You are missing dependencies.

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
Typically it isn't necessary to do a 'make clean', and in this package there's no accommodation for such a move anyway (AFAICT). But it's also not a bad idea to start clean.briandc wrote:...do I have to "undo" the first compilation attempt in some way, or is it sufficient to re-try the install?
FWIW, last night I built and installed the synth without difficulties on Ubuntu 12.04, KXstudio, tricked out for development. Haven't tested it with anything yet though.
Best,

Re: [ANN] Infamous Cellular Automaton Synth
hrmm. maybe I should add make clean to the install script, wouldn't be hard. But it will just copy over any older install attempts without problems. I've had lots of failed builds during development
StudioDave: looking forward to hear any feedback you might have. Glad it at least installed easily (I tried my best to make it work nicely).
