That give me the potential of also bridging Blender and LMMS. So its even possible to port Hecate to LMMS and use it as a main GUI on top of QT which is what LMMS is using, of course only for LazerHawk. I also love to design GUIs, my commercial project actually implements its own GUI api (using Blender low level opengl gui elements) I call “Hecate”. I am already familiar with how LMMS makes its own plugins, I studied the source of one of its simplest synths TrippleOscilator so I know I can embed things in it without have to use any stupid VST plugin and thus avoid crashes and having a gazillion levels of abstraction between LMMS and Cabbage/CSOUND. I also like the rack architecture of Reason which would like to bring to LMMS as well. Of course a easy to use GUI would be in hand and I like the node architecture that are present in cabagge and jackctrl. What started as a simple synth idea now it had the potential to embed not just CSOUND but even Cabbage inside LMMS and give its users unlimited potential. I did use an example to make a synth, LMMS can load VST plugin (also uses WINE to do so) but it crashed and burned.Įven though this failure could made me lose motivation my head start spinning with infinite possibilities. So I did try to build it on Manajaro, it failed in building the JUCE library then I found a windows binary and managed to run it via WINE with many issues. But then I had the revelation, “Wait a second, it should not be so hard to make something like LazerHawk via CSOUND and via the elegant Cabbage”. CSOUND? Hmmm where do I know that name ? DOH!!! And then I remembered that I had a spell with both CSOUND and Supercollider until I gave up on them because the idea of programming music was not that appealing to me. Of course it was not long before I discovered that it was using something weird, called CSOUND. So I said what the hell let give this a try seems very interesting. I found the user comments hilarious in the website, nice touch with TNMT by the way. In the mean time I was browsing music software on Linux and came to Cabbage. My dream is a synth that I call LazerHawk which will take the beautiful simple architecture of Yamaha CS-80 (I am huge Vangelis fan) and add a lot more stuff to it. So I went to learn DSP coding to find to my horror how painfully complex it was so I gave up because I did not have that much time and I wanted to make music too. Then an idea hit me to make my own VST synth. Before I knew it after 10 years of hiatus I was making music again. I have been coding and making music for more than 30 years now and decided to give LMMS source code a look and was blown away how well the UI hides many of its powerful features. Of course this being Linux I had my far share of crashes, freezes, lack of driver support but we came to arrangement in the end So I was looking through the package manager for installing stuff and came across LMMS ( ) I am not new to LMMS, I have given it several tries in the past and saw it as a very weak alternative to Fruity Loops. Someone convinced me to give Manjaro a try ( ). I own a late 2013 iMac but I have been working mainly on win10 for my commercial project. I recently decided to go full open source and give another try to Linux. First huge congratulation to the devs, amazing job and very nice idea.Ī small introduction about me, hello everyone, I come from Greece and I am 3d coder and artist messing with Blender source code ( ) on a commercial project I have been working.
