This app was born after an informal conversation about effects for guitar using GNU/linux. The major part of this apps are discontinued or simply not have new versions after few years. Josep Andreu say on the IRC chat "I can made an app based on the effects set hiden on code of ZynAddSubFX (by Paul Nasca Octavian). Some time after here is the result of our work... This app has 42 effects: EQ Lineal, Compressor, Distortion, Overdrive, Echo, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Reverb , Parametric EQ, Wah Wah, Alienwha, Harmonizer etc. The effects are procesed in cascade... The order of effects are configurable by the user. The state of rack can be saved as 'presets'. Sets of presets can be stored as 'banks'. The rack also has an integrated tuner and can receive MIDI control orders and can send MIDI notes to MIDI devices like synthesizers. rakarrack is a JACK app. The dependencies are: libfltk1.1 libxpm libjack100.0 libasound2 libsamplerate0 libsndfile1 aconnect jackd If you want to compile you will also need the development packages: libxpm-dev libfltk1.1-dev libjack-dev libsndfile1-dev libsamplerate0-dev libasound2-dev The name of the packages are typical of the naming convention for Debian-based distributions. These can be a little different for each distro. Use your package manager search function to find the equivalent package for your distribution. If working from a graphical environment, you may wish to install qjackctl or patchage to aid with configuring jackd and connecting JACK clients.
