Post by funkmuscle »

Hey, I've been chatting with a dev of vsts for guitar and he said his apps are portable to linux, just will need the interface done. Anyone knows how to do that??


check the plugins out here: http://www.acmebargig.com

Check out the thread with me and him after the usage of wine section:

discoDSP's Discovery is available for the 3 major platforms, including GUI (http://www.discodsp.com/discovery/). Wonder how they do it - their linux binary links against X11 and OpenGL libraries directly it seems:

Code: Select all

(nice-sounding synth for a reasonable price btw - I gotta play with the demo some more first, but I might buy it)

raboof, these are amp/cab sims, not synths. We have many synths for linux as the majority of linux musicians seems to be keyboard players so for the few guitarist that use linux, I've been trying to get the devs of these free vst apps to port to linux.
These apps are as good or better than the commercial vsts like Amplitube, GuitarRig, etc.

I finally found a vst dev who really wants to help and have his apps ported... Just needs someone to make interface for them for linux...
check out the links and audio samples there... Dunno if you play guitar or not.

I understand that - just thought i'd mention Discovery as an example of a VST with a GUI which was successfully made portable across linux, mac and windows.

oh, I see... Yeah, someone added interface to mda plugins too.
do you know how to use lv2 raboof?
I'm so naive to these things. When they say interface, they mean something like the gui right???

The "I" in "GUI" stands for "Interface" :wink:
