Hi, does anyone know a synth powerfull like
zynadd, phasex or
bristol,but in dssi format? I need something I can load into
Rosegarden,
since I dont want 10 Standalones running, until ardour, rg and the
synths support LASH, if that ever happens.
I have no idea why, but I have a warm, fuzzy soft place in my heart
for DSSI plugins. they always seem to just work. whysynth has
already been mentioned, but be sure to check out the calf monosynth,
which can be run as a DSSI plugin:
jack-dssi-host calf.so:Monosynth
check out the DSSI home page too, for a lot of other options.
I'm hoping this thread will reveal some that I don't know about! we
really need something like specimen in DSSI format.
I think LASH should be integrated into Jack, to
make it mandatory
for
linux audio apps. The missing LASH support is one of the main issues
disturbing me, when working with linux audio. Now I've said it, ha.
I'm thinking of having Jack require a Load/Save callback, prior to
activating the client. How feasible is that?
why oh why oh why did you throw this paragraph in? now no one wants
to talk about DSSI anymore... :(
+1 for Calf Monosynth and WhySynth. They, in addition to AMS and
PHASEX, are the synths I've used most.
Zyn is kind of old and doesn't do RT; the new thing is Yoshimi, and
I dunno if it supports LASH or ladish, but I'd guess both.
For the record, I *HATE* session management and I don't run LASH at
all when I can avoid it (IIRC, there's some synth that I use or used
which requires LASH, so I occasionally have to start it up).
I generally can't stand technologies that try to be "smart" and do
things I don't explicitly instruct them to do. Frustrates the hell
out of me.
FWIW, I am also the kind of guy who turns off autocomplete and
spelling checkers whenever I can.
