Hi,
First, congratulations, Rakarrack is still actively used by people, even
though the application itself isn't that active anymore. :)
Any (former) Rakarrack developers on this list?

That is impressive, isn't it?

There are no active developers. I've had success emailing Ryan Billing (one
of the primary authors) directly using his email address from the authors
file. However he made it fairly clear that they lack time for any
development work.
I'm tangentially related to the project as I ported all the effects to LV2
plugins with the intent to merge the project upstream. The merge was never
completed and unfortunately I'm finding myself with less and less time to
develop so it is unlikely to ever occur.
Do you have a specific question or are you just curious?

I wanted to check if there was any interest in adding
non-session-manager (nsm) support to Rakarrack. Seems to be a nice
candidate for it and it's mentioned by people if you ask them which
applications should get nsm support. Interesting combi with Guitarix as
well probably.
I saw your plugins, but even with plugins, users seems to prefer
Rakarrack as a whole for certain composition work.

That is an interesting trend isn't it? Certainly the presets are much more
convenient to use right from rakarrack than using the plugins. I had hoped
my project would be used more, but OTOH I use them and I don't regret the
effort.

Imho working with all the JACK applications can be a pain on Linux, but
with nsm support, the experience is much better. And then standalone
applications are preferable in certain situations actually. If I would
need one instance of Zynaddsubfx, I would always grab the standalone
version. If I need more instances, I might switch to Carla instead and
grab the plugin.
On the other hand, I know people are using Rakarrack, because you can
launch multiple instances and chain them together to create something
interesting.
It would be a nice feature add. It's highly
unlikely to happen though
unless someone outside of the project does the work, I'm not even sure
they are active enough to accept a pull request.
Yes, I probably need to search for someone else outside the project.
Volunteers raise your hand please! :)
You can clone the git repo at least, if that's what you mean:

Actually I always thought doing automation with JACK standalone
applications was a huge disadvantage compared with plugins. But it's
actually good possible to sent midi cc automation from a DAW to a JACK
standalone softsynth like Zynaddsubfx. Or I was ignorant, or I'm still
ignorant, but I don't see the problem not so much anymore. :)
By the way, I've heard people are using your plugins too, so don't worry
too much about it. ;)
