Some Linux & Jack Questions

Hello, I am fighting with Jack connection in Renoise and I have spend a lot of time on it. I think that this is difficult for a common user-musician. Today, I was thinking a lot about buying a full version - to have a 2.1. Now I use 2.0 demo.
Why I need jack ? I need to connect it with dssi or fst and free win vsti. (tried and it is ok, but long to configure it)
All my LADSPA effects from ubuntu studio are in effect list, although there are some envelope generators.
Situation about free vsti instrument in Linux is very poor. (you have even to compile them, got errors always)
I don’t want to use Windows.

Why I wrote all of this ?
Because I have an idea.
There are some native effects (excellent quality) in renoise. Is it possible to make some native instruments (software synthesizers) into renoise ??? I think e.g. porting some open and free vst instruments ?
Or some simple envelope generators - saw, square, sine, tri.

Or is there someone who could make a vst wrapper for linux to run free vsts from win (using dssi/fst, jack and wine) - like a complete solution… not compiling and configuring each part ???

Thank you for Renose !

Hi Syner,

Actually this question falls a outside the scope of this topic.

In quick summary:
Even without the generators, Renoise has a “Freehand” editor in the sample editor where you are allowed to draw your own samples, so basic waves can be added by hand and turned into an instrument.

As of converting free VST’s, that is currently something we’ll leave up to third party coders.
On the JuceTice pages you can find a few native ones (self programmed)

And ported plugins (from Windows), there are a few very nice ones there:

We can only hope plugin developers will follow the platform path and release their VST plugin also as a native Linux variant.
Up to so far no developer really daring to spend time on it because in general it is considered wasted time.

Linux community are commercially seen an uninteresting market as the general idea is those folks are freeloaders and expect everything to be open source or at least freely available. This is not completely true, but it has to be proven first.
