they can run within the JACK server (as a "plugin"). JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation. [Less]

built in GTK+ GUI.
The pack contains the following plugins: flanger, reverb, multimode filter, tape delay, monophonic subtractive (VA) synthesizer, phaser, rotary speaker, tonewheel/solid state organ/string machine. [Less]
QSampler is a LinuxSampler GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt3 toolkit using Qt Designer. At the moment it just wraps as a client reference interface for the LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP). LinuxSampler is a work in

progress. The goal is to produce a free, open source pure software audio sampler with professional grade features, comparable to both hardware and commercial Windows/Mac software samplers. The initial platform will be Linux because it is one of the most promising open source multimedia operating systems. Thanks to various kernel patches and the Jack Audio Connection Kit, Linux is currently able to deliver rock solid sub-5 millisecond MIDI-to-Audio response. [Less]
JAMin is the JACK Audio Mastering interface. JAMin is designed to perform professional audio mastering of any number of input streams. It consists of a number of tools to do this: a 1024 band hand drawn EQ with modifiable parametric controls, a 31

tool boxes!
It allows you to do your work the way you was used to do it, and allows you to gradually adopt the - often easier and much more powerfull - contextual interaction way of working!
Traverso lets you record and playback from/too as many channels as your hardware has available!
Adding or removing AudioClips, Tracks and Plugins during playback/capture is perfectly save, thanks to the carefully designed audio processing engine.
Traverso runs smoothly on the Linux, Windows and Mac OS X operating systems! [Less]
Very basic Haskell bindings for the JACK Audio Connection Kit
zynjacku is JACK based, GTK (2.x) host for LV2 synths. It has one JACK MIDI input port (routed to all hosted synths) and one (two for stereo synths) JACK audio output port per plugin. Such design provides multi-timbral sound by running several synth plugins.

These packages are not supported by Arch Linux. This is a third-party community project compatible with the Arch Linux repositories including unsupported (AUR), but excluding testing (at the moment at least). We also upload our packages to the AUR
... [More]
, but due to the dependency on one maintainer, we provide the central location where a team of community members can develop and maintain them together.
The emphasis is on providing the latest releases (and techonology where applicable) in a timely fashion via a rolling-release schedule, based on Subversion checkouts and comfortable user-developer interaction via the Google Code project management facilities. Currently there are two binary mirrors, of which one may not be online. These mirrors, however, will not always be up-to-date and may contain other packages.
We cater to software that are recognised as being useful for audio/music engineering/production, and aid other Arch Linux package maintainers/developers of such software by uploading updated versions of their packages when they are broken (users are unable to build themselves) and out-of-date. Another reason for hosting packages already being maintained by an Arch Linux developer or Trusted User is different resulting binaries due to different configurations.
We will also be providing the latest releases of possibly untested and unstable software that may qualify as being important for a working environment (eg. freebob, ffado). As such, not all of these packages will build or work as expected.
Download details are available on the "Source" link above and you can ask questions in the proaudio-users group, or get more involved with packaging and apply for upload privileges in proaudio-devel. There is also an IRC chat group #archlinux-proaudio on the irc.freenode.org network and an ongoing discussion thread in the Arch Linux forums. Have a look at the Source page for the full list of packages, we look forward to your reports, ideas and suggestions.
~$ svn list http://proaudio.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Note: To have upload privileges you will need a Google ID (eg. Gmail) and then notify us that you want to be added as a project member, after which you can log in to this page and view your SVN password from the "Settings" link. Not many users have the need for these software, but even so, we would appreciate it if you could help keep the project active - and most importantly - updated. [Less]
