Does anyone know of a linux based synth that

C64 SID chip? I would love to use that sound in some pieces, but I
have never been able to find anything very usable.
Perhaps something could be used from the libsid/libsidplay libraries??
Sidplay2 uses ReSID for sound emulation. There are two other programs I
know of that use this library:
* Goattracker (
http://cadaver.homeftp.net) but you have to be familiar
with a tracker interface and some SID internals
* VICE C64 emulator (
http://www.viceteam.org)
Try Paul Slocum's Cynthcart (
http://qotile.net/cynthcart.html) or the
good old JCH editor (
http://chordian.dk/files.htm?c64) with its cool
polyplay mode for realtime play on the computer keyboard.
Another option is Legasynth
(
http://www.reduz.com.ar/cheesetronic/index.php?section=4), but I don't
think this sounds very close to a real SID.
Thanks for these suggestions.. They all sound quite sensible. I
will look into them all.. sound like nice ways to generate good
samples.
Legasynth is closer to what I was envisaging though.. Although I
have never managed to build it successfully.. I keep going back
to it thinking "I've been using Linux for 6/7/8/9.. years now.. I
_must_ be able to get it to work now" but with no success..
hi james,
me also trying to get legasynth working for longer now, but this thread
moved me to try one more time and see:
here you get the version which is patched to compile with gcc-3.3 and
that works here.
all i did was to adjust that /usr/bin/cpp, gcc and g++ are showing to
the versions 3.3 and than running configure enabling jack - thats all.
