Fantastic work. I will be trying this out in the near future, and may look to contribute code and/or presets as well. Thanks!

Wow! Surge is one of my favorite synths and heavily used back when I was productive musician. And Linux support! Big up, can't wait too boot up BitWig and play with this old friend again. Thanks devs!

Whoa, this was nice to see. I haven’t used Surge in probably nearly 10 years? I remember it was one of my favorite plugins at the time. It sounds lovely and has a great balance between simplicity and creativity inducing power!

So great to see Linux support .. and with REAPER now working pretty well on Linux too, it seems that Linux-based DAW's have a bit of future to them. It is really a great feeling to be able to take a project on MacOS and move it over to Linux seamlessly and without hassle.

Whoever is responsible for ensuring Surge is on Linux: thank you! This is really, really appreciated .. off to make a donation, for that fact alone.

I've lost touch with this field a while ago.

Could y'all recommend some good VST hosts, for any OS (Win, Lin, Mac)? Simple, no-frills stuff, just enough to run something like Surge.

For Linux, I use Jack [0] (low-latency audio API) + Carla [1] (VST host) + Claudia [2] (session manager)

For OS X, Logic Pro is good and very affordable.

Logic Pro to my knowledge cannot host VSTs. But many VSTs have Audio Unit ports which it can use.

Plogue Bidule is an interesting little app; It just uses node graph with a few basic primitives and a VST container for plugins. I use it all the time if I just want to fire up a virtual synth without loading an entire DAW.

I really like Reaper, it's cheap, has a long (unlimited) free trial, and runs on Windows and Mac.

It runs on Linux too

Looks awesome, I installed it on Mac, but I can't find the app or install location. How do I actually run this thing?

johnwheeler• 7 years ago

Its a plugin meant to run inside VST hosts like ableton, reaper, or logic.

I'm not a Mac User, but you should be able to use the AU (Audio Unit) in Garage Band.
