Is Ingen dead?

Post by LinMusGuy »

Is Ingen dead? It looks interesting for building modular synths, but there is hardly any information about it on the internet and I cannot find how to install it on my Linux Mint computer.

Ingen is in the KXStudio repositories.

Follow the instructions here to add the repositories to your Linux Mint:
https://kx.studio/Repositories

Then search for Ingen using Synaptic (or apt).

Its homepage is: zhttp://drobilla.net/software/ingen (won't work if you're behind a VPN). They still appear to actively develop it if I look at its git. I can install Ingen in my old Linux Mint LTS Rebecca 17 via the KXStudio repository. Nood need to compile from source.

Seems to be a great peice of software to create your own synth via a gaphical object oriented application. Thanks for the tip, I think I'll try a tutorial to build a simple synth. Might be an alternative for Pure Data. :)

[edit 01] Didn't see @noedig his reply.

[edit 02, 17-5-'19] Made a typo. The home page is http://drobilla.net/software/ingen.

I bet that link with protocol zhttp won't work for most of the people anyway. At least my firefor does not know such protocol.

Ooops. I made a typo. One must leave out the "z", so its: http://drobilla.net/software/ingen.

I'm still interested in Ingen as it looks like a Linux alternative to SynthEdit or FlowStone. I found some info and files on GitHub. However following the instructions in the INSTALL-file I immediately ran into an error:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
(I can't find Ingen in the KXStudio repositories.)

You might want to look into bespokesynth, it's quite similar and actively developed. Alternatively, bitwig offers an environment like ingen.

I'm particularly interested in the possibility of exporting your own patch as a plugin. Don't know if that's possible with Bespoke or Bitwig?

run waf with python3:

BespokeSynth or Bitwig cannot act as plugins

Isn't Waf automatically installed with Python3?
