Hi,
we'd like to ask those who are interested in the new Guitarix LADSPA
plugins to run them on their systems and give us some feedback. They
do fine on our own machines and seem to be fit for wider testing.
The plugins "Guitarix Amp" and "Guitarix Stereo Fx" wrap all of the
entire sound engine of Guitarix. You can load a preset that you defined
with the Guitarix program, and even define some parameters for DAW
automation.
It's explained in our wiki:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/guitarix/index.php?title=How_to_use_t
he_new_ladspa_plugins
Our SVN:
svn co http://guitarix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/guitarix/trunk guitarix
After checkout, build with
./waf configure && ./waf && sudo ./waf install
for an installation to /usr/local.
Our tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=236234
Your feedback will be welcome here or there or anywhere..
Or in our forum:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/guitarix/
so please, don't be shy and tell us your test results or
if you think the concept is usable / unusable :-)
ciao
Andreas
Thanks. This is awesome news! Will test.
I was actually trying to do the very same thing here!
Creating individual GX Head Amp LADSPA plugins is super easy,
like '12AX7' for example. Faust makes it easy.
But combining them all in one plugin, or even just combining
them all in one .so file was very difficult.
I had some success, but some serious drawbacks.
And then there's the GX cabinets, which I would have needed
to extract from GX and make plugins from.
Faust is nice, very powerful, makes it easy, but does make some 'automated'
aspects hard.
This is great news because having the GX Head sound in LADSPA form
means having no round-trip latency from using GX externally.
PS. I actually fixed the existing Guitarix Distortion plugin by
composing my own .dsp file (the original has long since been missing)
and compiling.
It proved that the 'Drive Level' control was indeed broken in the existing
.cc file. Yet, it was still disappointing after all that work, it doesn't
really help the sound much.
Cheers. Tim.
