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_…
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.

Yes, but I'm not sure how useful single modules are if you
want to have an amp, and the sound is defined by multiple
components which are tuned relative to each other.
Of course it could make sense to make plugins from single
effects, but it could be a problem that ladspa plugins are not
expected to change and we don't want to make that sort of
guarantee for our effect units.

btw. the guitarix developer list on sourceforge is a good place to
discuss such things :-)

yes, much more difficult because of the sophisticated algorithm for
convolution.
Faust is nice, very powerful, makes it easy, but does
make some 'automated'
aspects hard.

but instead of round-trip latency you have latency from buffering in the
LADSPA plugin. The problem is the convolution, the algorithm needs
fixed block size and LADSPA doesn't guarantee that. So we need
buffering, which introduces latency N-1 for buffersize N. But since we
announce that additional latency on the "latency" output port, Ardour
can compensate for it (of course not for realtime monitoring). If you
don't need any of the convolution units, you can switch off buffering,
or you can make it small (64 samples or even down to 16) if you have
tight automation points from your DAW.
PS. I actually fixed the existing Guitarix Distortion

composing my own .dsp file (the original has long since been missing)

yes.. sorry that you put time into it... I think it doesn't make a lot of
sense any more to work on the old plugins.
