I think your best bet right now is to get Elven going
(or maybe Ingen if
you don't need the GUI and the presets - you can still control the
parameters without it from Ingen's generic interface). But while AZR-3
is mostly done, at least sound-wise, Elven is highly unstable and will
probably not be future-compatible. Also, Euphoria is very much
unfinished - what you hear today is not what you will hear tomorrow.
It works with elven. AZR-3 sounds fantastic! I will consider it the answer to the question
I asked a while ago: is there a free-as-in-freedom B3 out there?
It's not perfect: it's not really using tonewheels, just slightly warped sine
waves. At some point I'm sure someone will just grab samples of the some of the actual
tonewheels on a Hammond, make wavetables of them, and modify AZR-3 to use those. It's
GPL so that's possible.
Its Leslie sounds as good to me as the TAP Rotary Speaker LASDSPA plugin, and seems to
have less latency, too. It also has the speedup/slowdown code and even an adjustment for
belt tightness, which the TAP plugin lacks. Nice.
In a sense, this goes for all LV2 plugins and hosts.
While the
specification is now relatively stable, it's still not completely
finalised and things may still break without notice.
I built it using the recent slv2 release. There was one minor problem, which I think I
sent to Lars off-list, regarding a missing file, but after I came up with an awful hack to
get around that, it built and it works. Yay!
I will also try ingen, so as to get it going without a GUI, but elven was much easier to
build than ingen.
It remains to be seen how (if) any of this runs on a 64-bit machine, but I'll try that
next.
