Hello, G2500 developer here!
Hi everybody, I am the developer of G2500 Virtual Analog synthesizer, a recreation in software of the legendary ARP 2500 modular synth first arrived in 1970. The G2500 homepage:
G2500 Virtual Analog synthesizer
I am about to release G2500 for Linux also, and I would like to get in touch with people making music using the Linux platform.
I have questions about, what users prefer in relation to a complete bundle with libraries, or smaller program and use dynamic linked libraries instead.
It would also be good, if some want to try out the beta version on different computer configurations, before I release it.
As I am new to this forum, LinuxMusicians, I probably need advise on how to continue here. Should there be a separate thread for G2500, or does it fit into an existing thread?
Thanks

Wow, that looks really cool. I can't comment about libraries and such but I'd certainly be interested in trying it.

IMO for not opensource vst it is better to provide all needed library boundled in package. This will more likely expand availability on more distribution which will have differnt than yours version of various library.Geomol wrote: I have questions about, what users prefer in relation to a complete bundle with libraries, or smaller program and use dynamic linked libraries instead.
IE. Harrison mixbus provides two version (one builded against gcc5).

Cool! I will send (probably private message) a link, when beta is ready to be tried one of the coming days.sysrqer wrote:Wow, that looks really cool. I can't comment about libraries and such but I'd certainly be interested in trying it.

Hi,
Just curious, what you use for GUI?

Re: Hello, G2500 developer here!
I developed the GUI system. In short, this is what is going on:Kott wrote:Hi,

The GUI elements are defined in text files, that are being parsed by a scripting language, World Programming Language, when the application starts or new modules are being loaded. This gives flexibility, and the application can use skins.
The GUI elements ends up as data objects in the application and is being rendered using OpenGL, so you have hardware acceleration for responsive GUI, and it could be in 3D at some point.
What CPU architecture? I develop under 64-bit Linux (x86_64 also known as amd64), but I guess, I can make 32-bit i386 version at some point too. I see, some develop for arm architecture too, like Pianoteq. What hardware is that?>>if some want to try out the beta version on different computer configurations

I can't write private messages on this board, as I am too new here, it seems, so if you could send me an email on contact at niclasen dot name, I will give you link and instructions.
Same to others, who wanna try this first version of G2500 on Linux. Send me an email, so we can get this tested on different computer configurations.

G2500 Virtual Analog synthesizer was released for Linux today:

G2500 has been tested on a handful of different Linux distributions, and thanks to LinuxMusicians users, who have helped testing.

You might benefit from seeing how Mixbus package as they do an installer that works on different distro. They do have a free demo.

Time to explore this recreation of an old analog beast.
