The standalone version of guitarix is based on GTK2+.
But guitarix is also released as a suite of LADSPA plugins
and can be used in e.g. ardour.

For capture, guitarix uses the external application
'jack_capture' (version >= 0.9.30) written by Kjetil
S. Matheussen. If you don't have it installed,
you can look here:

For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the
convolution application 'jconv' created by Fons Adriaensen.

Thanks, it's great, I just plunked some bass through it and it's a
lot of fun. Arch User Repository is updated.
Some things I noticed:
1) The default connections, especially with the meterbridge enabled,
seem weird to me.
2) Nice new website, I really like that sunburst theme, but on the
website it's a jpg which shows lots of aliasing, maybe a png
or something would be better?
3) Everything's quite small on my screen, I can hardly read some of
the things, like 'resonanz' and 'vibrato'.
Anyway, it's lots of fun :)
Regards,
Philipp

Hi Philipp
Thanks for making the arch build script to guitarix.
to 1.) do you mean the default settings ? Then I must say yes, we have
completely forget to adjust them to the new effects and amp
simulation's, so indeed they are (bad) useless.
I mean something else:
When you open the meterbridge guitarix makes automatic jack connections.
From first guitarix out to second meterbridge in.
From first meterbridge out to guitarix in.
I don't understand the purpose of that connection.
to 2. ) thanks for the hint, yup have update it
to png.
to 3. ) do you think it's to small, or is it just the font colour with
the sunburst skin ? May we rework the font colour so that we could set
it with the gtkrc file also, in the moment it's hardcoded (pango).
regards hermann
I think it's too small, those two things are even smaller than the
rest, which is already small. The fonts in the oscilloscope are also
very small.
Regards,
Philipp
the meterbridge is to show the diff between in and output.
guitarix is a monoamp, so there is no diff between the two output
channels, except you move the balance slider, so one channel monitoring
is enough, I think. For easy useage we decide to start it connected
already.
Also the oscilloscope show only the right output channel.
To the font size, yea, I try to make it as small as possible, that's
true, may I go a little to small with it. I wont to save space in the
GUI for future includes. resonanz and vibrato, I make smaller because
the arrangement of the controllers.
So, okay, it's to small, we will rework it for a better view,
thanks for your feedback,
hermann
