DSynkant

Description

DSynkant is a virtual synthesizer that emulates the Roland D-50/D-550.

Features

It's rather barebone right now. There is no GUI, no presets, and no sound! It only compiles on Linux but the code should easily be portable to other platforms. It supports DSSI and VST.

Requirements

• Boost (version 1.46 minimum) http://www.boost.org/
• DSSI SDK http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ (optional)
• VST SDK http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developers.html (optional)

Compilation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4

should work.

For VST support, download the VST SDK (tested with 3.6) and unzip it directly under the project root directory.

Under GNU/Linux 64-bit, you may also need to comment out a bit of code in

pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h

like all definitions of VSTCALLBACK except

#define VSTCALLBACK
