What kind of distorted sounds are you looking for more specifically?

haven't tried it, but I've been pretty happy with CAPS. Cabinet "5" is by far my favorite of the cabinet settings.

Is there an easy way to add new impulse responses to cabinetII? I have a couple of responses from POD XT found on the jesusonic website. (Dunno about copyright) http://www.jesusonic.com/preset.php?pid=6 jack_convolve would do fine. But what about CabinetII? I know CabinetII doesn't use regular FFT convolve. But you can "convert" the responses to work with cabinetII right?

Le 06 Mar à 19:38, Cesare Marilungo ecrivait: Hi. This seems very interesting, but is there a way to make them run with linux ? Jack-dssi host tells me that the plugins failed to report the window size, so nothing is usable even if it seems to be launched (there's no visible window), and fst tells me that the plugin has no editor, so I can't even check that, as *all* other VST, fst is completely unable to make them run because of the same XWindow problem.

Hi Tim, this is sad news. But not that odd. A lot of interesting projects developed inside universities are becoming commercial products. Especially in the dsp field. IIRC, the authors are from Italy. Can you confirm this?

If this is the case, there's a very high chance that they're from a public university. I believe that the results of a research developed inside a public university should be published as open source. But, again, nothing surprises me these days. :-(
