Matheussen. If you don't have it installed, you can look here: http://old.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?M=D For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the zita-convolver library, and, for up/down sampling we use zita-resampler, both written by Fons Adriaensen. If you don't have it installed, get it here: http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html We use the marvellous faust compiler to build the amp and effects and will say thanks to : Julius Smith http://ccrma.stanford.edu/realsimple/faust/ : Albert Graef http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Faust : Yann Orlary http://faust.grame.fr/ ________________________________________________________________________ For faust users : All used Faust dsp files are included in /guitarix/src/faust, the resulting cc files are in /guitarix/src/faust-cc The tools we use to convert (post-processing and plot) the resulting faust cpp files to the needed include format, stay in the /guitarix/tools directory. ________________________________________________________________________ regards Hermann Meyer, James Warden, Andreas Degert
