  1. Battle of the open source synths on Linux: #Vitalium, #SurgeXT, #Synthv1, #Dexed, #ZynAddSubFX. There's also #Helm, but it's just a precursor of Vitalium (by the same developer). There are a couple more, but these are the most common or capable ones.

    I wish there was some more development of Vitalium. The creator of #Vital dropped the v1 as GPL, and then he closed sourced it. The community didn't really do much with it.

  2. @Mirk0dex Hey! Matt has spent years building #Vital, and AFAIK now is mainly working on serving his paying customers and improving the synth. IIRC He's released the source code under a dual license a few months after the initial release - this is why we have Vitalium, which is free software created by @falktx . So far we haven't seen a source code updated from Matt, so I don't suspect we'll be getting the new features in #Vitalium any time soon. Still - it's a indispensable free instrument.

  3. In case you missed it - I've made a 28-minute tutorial introducing basic concepts of sound synthesis using 100% libre software. Someone even called it a masterclass :D

    Since the community version needs some patches - we'll be making those!
