Oi!
I'm allanger and currently I'm working as full time SRE, but recently I've found out that I'd like to spend more time doing things related to music and sound. So I'm currently looking for project to add to my portfolio. So if you want somebody do a decent (I hope) mix for you without asking for any money, just let shoot me a message.
I'm not a pro mixing engineer of course, but it's what I'm aiming for.
Also, I'm a beatmaker, you can find my bets on this site, just go to the [Beats section]({{< ref "beats" >}}). I'm not leasing them, I want one beat to be used one time by one artist. And again, I'm not a well-known beatmaker, so you can just let me know if you like anything, and we'll figure it out.

> If you're hiring, you can [download my CV here](https://s3.badhouseplants.net/public-download/n.rodionov.pdf)
<li href="placeholder.com" target="_blank">download my CV here</a>
I'm a musician and a geek, who works full time as a DevOps engineer, whatever it means. Thanks to my job, I know how to run self-hosted services pretty well, and that's helping me achieve my goal of bringing the indie culture everywhere I can. I'm trying to separate myself from global companies as a user as much as it's possible in my daily life.
Also, I'm a Linux lover, what doesn't really correlate with my will to make music. I hope that one day we will see that developers will see that Linux is a real OS that can be used as a daily driver. And building software for Linux is important just like building for MacOS and Windows. I hope that we will be able to use not only open source solutions working on Linux, but also closed-source proprietary ones.
### Music, Beats and Arrangements
## Music
> I always thought I was a musician
[Check out what I've got](https://funkwhale.badhouseplants.net)
You can find everything I consider ready enough to be shown on my [FunkWhale](https://funkwhale.badhouseplants.net/library) instance. Also, my music can be found on many streaming services, and yes, I know that it's not a very independent way of doing things, but it's one of many exceptions 🙃.
All of my beats are waiting for somebody to do something with them. I'm giving them all for donation, so if you happen to like any, just shoot me a message. I can re-arrange and remix them as much as possible. I can mix your tracks, and I really will to do that, it doesn't matter what kind of music it is, I'm ready to work with everything, if I like it *(at least a little bit)*.
## IT
> I'm a DevOps after all
[Visit my gitea](https://git.badhouseplants.net)
For I'm a DevOps I'm working a lot with Kubernetes, Containers, Linux, etc. And that's the root of my intention to move to Linux completely.
I hope I will do my contribution to the world of Linux music production too. I'm hosting my own Gitea instance. There you will be able to find all my code (or almost all of my code).
If you made it to here, you might think that it's the point of all of this existing. Self-hosted blog, a music streaming service, and git. **This guy is just a fucking geek! **
And yes, you're partially right. The main reason it exists is that I'm trying to follow and promote `indie/punk` culture, that is not only applies to arts. And that's going to be covered in my posts, I hope.
---
### If you're still here,
I'm looking for people with the same mindset as me, to make music or to code together, or anything. So I would be happy to get connections on [Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@allanger)

And here I'm going to install the same applications (`VPA` and `Goldilocks`) with helmfile, and I will tell why I think that it's better than `ArgoCD`
So let's start. Here you can find the [initial config](https://git.badhouseplants.net/allanger/helmfile-vs-argo/src/branch/helmfile-main). Let's see what we got here:

title = 'Do we really need Continuous Reconciliation after all?'

> Well, alright, I guess it depends
## Intro
First, let's figure out what **continuous reconciliation** stands for. Considering this post's categories, I guess we're talking **Kubernetes** here. And **continuous reconciliation** means that resources deployed to kubernetes are not only synced once, when you run `kubectl apply`, but all the time. Basically, every 30s (or whatever reconciliation period you got) something is running `kubectl apply`.
The idea behind that (as I see) is that you're always aware of what's deployed to you cluster, by looking at the code. Let's say, there is a git repo `k8s-deployments`, and it has all the resources that you want to have running in your cluster.
> It made a lot of sense to when I heard for the first time, not I'm rather sceptical about it.
As far as I understand, having all you resource described in a git repository and continuously reconciled is **GitOps**, not only that of course, it's just a part of it. At least that's what I've been told by some engineers.
## GitOps
I don't think that I'm the one to be talking about **GitOps** because everytime I was trying to bring my point on that, I've been told that I don't know what **GitOps** is.
> To be honest, after many conversations with different people, I think that GitOps is just a buzzword for selling technologies and services, correct me if I wrong.
I can't talk about others opinion, so I'll jsut try to express mine. I think that **GitOps** is when you have a desired state of your infrastucture written in code, and a mechanism to make your real infrastucture state correspond the desired one.
Let's not lean towards Kubernetes itself, and let's imaging that you, as a SRE team, have to manage Kubernetes clusters. In your cluster you'll have to run an application that is being developed by the company you're working for, and some dependencies, that this application needs in order to run.
> Also, I guess it is an opinion that many of SREs won't share. I guess that the SRE team shouldn't be integrated to development teams. In my opinion, SRE teams should provide ingfa-as-a-service to developes and help them use it.
So, after all, you cluster will contain approximately this:
- Very base layer
- CNI plugin (E.G. Cilium)
- CoreDNS
- System layer
- Cert Manager
- Traefik
- Monitoring layer
- Kube Prometheus Stack
- Loki
- Promtail
- Application specific dependencies
- Zalando Postgres Operator
- Redis Operator
- Application layer
- Your application
And as an addition, you might have a GitOps tool, currently, the most popular ones are **Flux** and **ArgoCD**, I guess I will compare them later, in this article let's just use **Flux**.
First question that comes to my mind is, onto which layer one should put Flux? Flux depends on `CNI` and `CoreDNS`, so it should be deployed after them. So should it be the System layer? It sounds good, I guess, but do we want Flux to manage **Cert manager** and **Traefik**. Me - not, but the answer that I get the most is yes. So let's assume, we've decided to manage them with Flux. It means that we should add another layer between "Very base" and "System" ones, a **GitOps layer**. To us it means that after we get a bare new empty cluster, we need to install CNI, CoreDNS, and Flux, and only then we should deploy anything else with the Flux help.
What does it mean for us, we need to

>Oi!
>I've decided to turn that blog more into the musical direction, because I've got enough of IT related stuff on my work. So most probably, I'll be posting about sound design, sound engineering and music more.
## Intro
I want to make a series of articles about sound design. I'll be learning as well during this process, and here I'll just post my findings. If you happen to read it and find mistakes, feel free to send me your thoughts.
I consider this cycle ready, when I have enough of samples, that I can create a beat or a song. After everything is done, I'll publish the sample pack, so anybody can download it for free. And the example of a track will be on my [funkwhale instance](https://funkwhale.badhouseplants.net/library)
## Let's go
I've decided to start with a drum kit. And the first element that I'm going to create is a **kick drum**. I'll be using Vital as a sound design instrument, if you don't know what it is you should check it out here: <https://vital.audio>.
First, we need to understand, what the kick actually is. What are components of that sound. I can identify three components of it:
- Click (that is produced by a pedal)
- Body (sound from inside a drum)
- Metal (vibrations of metal components of a drum kit) *This is optional, I'd say*
Let's open Vital
![Empty Vital](/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/init_vital.png)
First of all, let's get rid of all non-persistent stuff (Things that are different on each key press)
![Unison and Phase](/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/unison_phase.png)
*And we will do the same for all wavetables for kick and snare*
Now let's set wave types to `basic shapes`
![Basic Shape](/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/kick_basic_shape.png)
Doesn't sound like a kick yet, but the main trick, as I think, is to map the pitch of that OSC to an LFO, that looks like that, and set the base value to something around **-12**.
![LFO 1](/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/kick_lfo_1.png)
You can play around a bit and find a perfect spot that will make your kick awesome, but let's listen to what I've got now. I'll use one of defaults `Logic Pro` drum kits and replace a kick with the one I'm creating. Later I'll be replacing other drums as well, and in the end we will have a full drum kit.
Also, we don't need to change a pitch depending on which key is pressed, so let's disable the `Note Track` for all OSC in the `Advanced` tab
![Note Track disabled](/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/disable_note_track.png)
*Also, after disabling the note tracking, I've set the pitch base value to -14, so it sounds like a kick*
Now, let's listen:
{{< audio "/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/Kick_v1.mp3" >}}
Kick already sounds like a kick, but a lame one, doesn't it. Let's play a bit.
First, let's add a second LFO to control the volume level of the kick, it should be a short hit, so I'm adding a LFO like that and mapping it to the `level` of the first `OSD`
![LFO 2](/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/kick_basic_shape.png)
And then enabling the `Filter 1` and mapping this LFO to the `Filter` as well,
It looks and sounds like that
{{< video "/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/Kick_v2.mp4" "video-1">}}
With that filter setup I think, click sounds better. To make it even sharper, let's add some `White Noise` and an additional `LFO` for it.
{{< video "/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/Kick_v3.mp4" "video-2">}}
And now let's add some effects. I've added a little bit of `EQ`, a `Distortion` which drive is mapped to a new `LFO`, and a `Compressor`, so now it looks like that:
{{< video "/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/Kick_v4.mp4" "video-3">}}
The last step would be to add some more effects, but outside the `Vital` synth already. *And I'd like to change the pattern, because this one is driving me nuts*. So I've added a bit of additional `EQ`, `Distorition`, and `Compression`, and now it sounds like that. `
{{< audio "/posts/creating-a-sample-pack-kick/Kick_final_result.mp3" >}}

[OPEN ON SPOTIFY](https://open.spotify.com/album/6TTnfWZQyoZ8O1GuK8TtXf?si=cNchuEmfTAy52Z6jstnG2A) -- [OPEN ON DEEZER](https://deezer.page.link/D3M4JVdDYhmxXUUZ7) -- [OPEN ON YOUTUBE](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l3BFAqPxAOkkzb-SByHbbvgBkdk3_idjg&si=bBo6cQE8jGWjLnsI)
It's not easy to find this album, to be honest. I think that I would never have listened to it unless I started trying to understand the Glaswegian accent. *I haven't succeeded really still*. While searching for artists from Scotland, I've bumped onto this YouTube channel: [Twelve50TV](https://www.youtube.com/@Twelve50TV). There are many rappers that I actually like, but they don't tend to publish their music on mainstream streaming platforms (read Spotify). So I couldn't really listen to them during my daily routine.
One of my favourites was that video: [Kid Robotik - War](https://youtu.be/LToW8CdBGOQ?si=-MgdWM1FvzGqKhnM). And this guy has his albums published on Spotify. I was listening to this song mostly because of other rappers performing on it: **Sherlock** and **McRoy**. And since this album is **Kid Robotik's** one, I wasn't trying to listen to it at all. I'm not saying that I didn't like his part there, but it didn't seem outstanding to me at all. Though, not so long ago I was bored by all the music I was listening to, and I've decided to check out the album finally. And after first listen I could already say that this guy, Kid Robotik is indeed one of favourite rappers. *Even though I still can't understand about 80% of what they're saying on that album, I freaking like beats, flow, voice and mixing.* And I think that it should gain a way more streams, than it has.
I can't even pick songs that I like the most, because they're all great in my opinion.

I want to build a completely non-profit independent public music library based on Funkwhale application, you can find it here: https://funkwhale.badhouseplants.net. At the moment of writing this post, I only have my music released there, but I hope that one day it will change. And I would really like to have this album there. So if you are Kid Robotik or someone who know him, please let me know if you'd be interested.

>Best, but according to Output. Their article: *[https://output.com/blog/output-favorites-freebies](https://output.com/blog/output-favorites-freebies)
This is kinda article where I'm looking for "BEST FREE VST" articles or videos, or whatever, trying to run them on Linux and checking how they perform. The first article I've found is one by **Output**, so be it.
---
## 1. Arcade by Output 👎
Freaking unexpected, huh? But what choice do I have? **Walk the walk and talk the talk. **So let's start by pressing the "TRY IT FREE" button.
First I need to enter my email, then I need to enter a bunch of information about myself and then: What a bummer, they want me to add a payment method. And even thought they won't charge me the first month, I'm not doing talking the talk. Sorry, let's go to the next one.
---
## 2. OTT by Xfer 👍
This one you will find in any top, I believe. It can mean only one thing: it's really one of the best. So let's try.
There is no Linux version of this plugin, so we will have to use the Windows one. How, you would ask me? I will have to install a couple of packages to my system before I'm ready. I'm starting by installing **wine**.  
I am not going to describe the process of installing it, google `"$YOUR_LINUX_DISTRO_NAME install wine" ` after it's done you may want to create a new wine prefix in your system.
What is wine prefix? Let's think of it as of a directory that contains Windows-related stuff. All plugins will be installed there alongside libraries that are required to make them work.
Let's give this prefix a recognizable name, like `.wine_vst_plugins.` I'm opening the terminal, yes, I'll have to use it, but you shouldn't be scared of it, because terminal is our friend. Opening it and executing:
$ WINEPREFIX="$PWD/.wine_vst_plugins/" winecfg
It will open a window when you can configure your wine prefix, but the main stuff is already done, so I just close it.
To check if we're happy, I'm executing the following
$ ls -la $HOME/.wine_vst_plugins
total 3332
drwxr-xr-x 1 allanger allanger 126 Oct 27 18:13 .
drwx------ 1 allanger root 1922 Oct 27 18:15 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 allanger allanger 8 Oct 27 18:13 dosdevices
drwxr-xr-x 1 allanger allanger 110 Oct 27 18:13 drive_c
-rw-r--r-- 1 allanger allanger 3282847 Oct 27 18:13 system.reg
-rw-r--r-- 1 allanger allanger 12 Oct 27 18:13 .update-timestamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 allanger allanger 4130 Oct 27 18:13 userdef.reg
-rw-r--r-- 1 allanger allanger 113309 Oct 27 18:13 user.reg
If your output looks like mine, we're good to go. Let's install the second tool: [https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge](https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge). You will find all the instructions if you just scroll down a wee bit. After installing it you also must have a tool called **yabridgectl,** to check that it is right, just execute the following
$ yabridgectl
yabridgectl 4.0.2
Robbert van der Helm <mail@robbertvanderhelm.nl>
Optional utility to help set up yabridge
USAGE:
yabridgectl <SUBCOMMAND>
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
SUBCOMMANDS:
add Add a plugin install location
rm Remove a plugin install location
list List the plugin install locations
status Show the installation status for all plugins
sync Set up or update yabridge for all plugins
set Change the yabridge path (advanced)
blacklist Manage the indexing blacklist (advanced)
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
I hope you're seeing pretty much the same picture as I am. And it only means that we can go further.
Now it's time to install the plugin itself. I'm downloading the **Windows** version and opening my terminal again
Let's assume that you've downloaded it to the `~/Downloads` folder, and the file name is `Install_Xfer_OTT_135.exe`
$ cd ~/Dowloads
$ WINEPREFIX="$PWD/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine ./Install_Xfer_OTT_135.exe
Why we're adding this `WINEPREFIX` thing every time when running `wine`? Because we're saying which wine prefix should be used by wine, since it's not a default path for the prefix.
After installing this plugin, I will need to add it to **yabridge**. To do that, use **yabridgectl**
Instead of what I'm putting after `/drive_c/`, provide a path that you've chosen during the installation
$ yabridgectl add ~/.wine_vst_plugins/drive_c/Program\ Files/Common\ Files/VST
$ yabridgectl sync
And I'm opening a DAW, *I assume you already have one too, for here you are. But if you don't, and you don't know which to install, just install **Ardour.***
I'm opening it, adding a track and adding the **OTT** plugin to that track.
![OTT Xfer](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/ott-xfer.png)
It is working and I would even say it's running
The UI part is a wee bit buggy, but I don't think that it's a problem.

## 3. Wider by Polyverse 👍
I'm entering my email again and receiving a download link. Downloading, unpacking, and installing
$ WINEPREFIX="$PWD/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine ./InfectedMushroom-Wider-V1.1.3.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
![Wider](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/wider.png)Again, it's working flawlessly
So far so good, even the UI part is perfect.
---
## 4. CamelCrusher by Camel Audio 👍
It can be downloaded even without email thingy.
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine ./camelcrusher-win_mac\ \(www.mpcindia.co\)/CamelCrusherWin-1-0-1-x64.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
And when I'm trying to add it to Ardour, I'm getting an error
[Info]: Scanning: /home/allanger/.vst/yabridge/CamelCrusher.so
09:23:38 [error]
09:23:38 [error] Error during initialization:
09:23:38 [error] '/home/allanger/.vst/yabridge/CamelCrusher.dll' does not exist, make sure to rename 'libyabridge-vst2.so' to match a VST plugin .dll file.
09:23:38 [error]
[ERROR]: ** ERROR** VSTFX : CamelCrusher could not be instantiated :(
[WARNING]: Cannot get VST information from '/home/allanger/.vst/yabridge/CamelCrusher.so': instantiation failed.
Scan Failed.
And I can't actually understand what is the problem here.
I don't give up so quickly. Let's try running it via [Carla](https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla). I won't describe how to install it, you can google it.
So after it's installed, I'm opening it as a standalone app first and trying to add my **CamelCrusher** there. And it's working. Then the next step is to add **Carla** as a **FX** plugin in **Ardour** and then add CamelCrusher there.
![CamelCrush](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/camel-crush.png)Working again, but not without Carla

## 5. Fracture by Glitchmachines 👍
I love this plugin, and I'm using it a lot on my MacBook, so it would be nice to run it on **Linux** too. So let's go. But Glitchmachines can give us another great plugin for free, so I will try running both of them here. The other one is **Hysteresis**. So I'm downloading both of them.
After receiving two links, I'm installing them
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine Fracture_setup.exe
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine Hysteresis_setup.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
![Glitchmachines](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/glitchmachines.png)
They are working but there is one UI glitch
![Glitchmachine's making glitch](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/glitchmakesrs-glitch.gif)
#### Maybe you won't notice it on your system
Because we probably have different system configs, so maybe it's only possible to reproduce this bug with a set of configs and packages I'm using in my Linux. So if you don't face this issue, lucky you!
It's not very annoying to me, but to avoid this kind of behaviour, I can wrap these plugins with **Carla.**
![Glitchmachines with Carla](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/glitchmaker-carla.gif)
It's working perfectly with Carla *(it's not that buggy in real life, only on the record)*

## 6. FreqEcho by Valhalla DSP 👍
Valhalla's plugins, I think, are one of the most popular in the music world. I don't know a man who doesn't have all of their free plugins installed.  And I do have them installed already in my system, but I will go through the installation process again, just to describe it here. So let's download all of their free plugins
- Valhalla Freq Echo
- Valhalla Space Modulator
- Valhalla Supermassive
```BASH
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine ValhallaFreqEchoWin_V1_2_0.exe
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine ValhallaSpaceModulatorWin_1_1_6v3.exe
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine ValhallaSupermassiveWin_V2_0_0.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
```
![Valhalla plugins](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/valhalla.png)
All of them run flawlessly
---
## 7. Audio Treasure by Max For Cats 👎
As far as I could understand, it can be used only in **Ableton Live**, and since I'm not an Ableton user, and I don't want to run it with **Wine** *(cause there is no native Linux version)*, it's becoming the second plugin in the list, that is not working on
## 8. Saturation Knob by Softube 👎
To get it, I must have a Softube account, (*but I already have it, because I used to download all them free plugins like nuts and create accounts everywhere 🤦)*
So I'm downloading their App Center, that I'm going to use to install a plugin. *I do hate this approach of managing software, but I will cover it in another post one day. *
So the process is very similar to a direct plugin installation. Install **Softube Central** to the same **Wine** prefix
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine Softube\ Central\ Setup\ 1.7.1.exe
But after that, I've found out that their **Software Center** is written is **Electron-based** application, and I wasn't yet able to run stuff like this in **Wine**. Maybe later I will put more effort into that, but for now, I'm saying that it's not working. 😥
> #### Some kind of rhetorical question
>
> I don't understand why they and, for example, **Splice** can't release a Linux version of their application, it they already use Electron, that in my understanding is supposed for cross-platform development.
---
## 9 and 10. Plugins by iZotope 👎
**iZotope** is like **Valhalla**, everybody knows it. But I remember having troubles with their plugins on **Linux**. But now I'm trying again, and I'm full of hope.
Plugins:
- iZotope Vinyl
- iZotope Ozone Imager V2 *(it's not in the Output list, but why not?)*
- iZotope Vocal Doubler
One more plugin vendor that requires an account creation. But I do have one from those good old times.
Well, since I remember that there was a problem with them, I'll start by trying only one. Let it be **Ozone Imager V2**.
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine iZotope_Ozone_Imager_v2_1_0.exe
But unfortunately, when I'm opening these plugins, it asks for an authorization, and it doesn't work. It's described in the **yabridge README.md**,but I'm too dummy to read it there.
#### There is a workaround
I've heard that you can download cracked versions of these plugins and they won't require an auth, so they might work. But I'm not trying that, and you shouldn't too.
---
## 11. TAL-Chorus-LX 👍👍👍
It's a piece of cake. This plugin has a native build for Linux, so I'm (since I'm using **Arch Linux**) just installing it using **yay**. And you may want to use another package manager, or download it from the official web page, it's presented there.
![NATIVE, YOU KNOW!](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/tal-chorus.png)
---
## 12. Snap Heap by Kilo Hearts 👎
I was trying to get it, but It didn't seem free.
![Snap Heap](/posts/vst-on-linux-1/snap-heap.png)
---
## 13. Signal Free VST by Output 👎
I'm sorry, but I'm not even trying. It still hurts since the first place in this top.
---
## Some kind of conclusion
First, you have seen only pictures here but haven't heard anything I've done with these plugins. And I know that it sucks, because we're talking about music. I'll record a track using these plugins later and show you how it's working.
About those plugins that didn't work: I know that some of them are great, and it's sad that **iZotope** are not running on Linux, but there are alternatives that are Linux native. So for each failed one I will try to find an alternative, and later I will share my findings here.
Thanks for reading
Oi!

Big ups, **Venus Theory!**
[Link to the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCzf38fCqB4)
## Prerequisite
All of them are covered in [the first post]({{< ref "vst-on-linux-1" >}} )
- You have Wine and Yabridge installed
- You have a Wine prefix configured (in my case, `$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/`, so every time you see it, use your own wine prefix)
## Deelay 👍
You can find it here: [https://sixthsample.com/deelay/](https://sixthsample.com/deelay/)
After receiving a link, I'm downloading a **Windows 64-bit** version and running
```BASH
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine Deelay-1.0.3-Installer-64bit.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
```
![A running deelay](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/deelay.png)
It's running, but the context menus UI glitch is present
Audio qualities of this plugin on Linux are prefect, but when you open any drop-down menu, plugin's window is getting hidden.
![UI glitch](posts/vst-on-linux-2/deelay-glitch.gif)
But it can be fixed with **Carla**. If I'm putting Carla to my FX chain and then adding **Deelay** to **Carla**, this problem is gone.
## Surge XT 👍👍👍
This plugin has a native **Linux** version, and it's open-source, so just install it with your package manager or download from the official site. You won't even have to touch **yabridge** and **wine** this time
[**Source code**](https://github.com/surge-synthesizer/surge)
![Surge XT Linux native](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/surge.png)
## Cardinal 👍👍👍
**You won't believe me!**
But it's open-source too and has supports **Linux** out of the box.
[**Source code**](https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal)
![Again native and open-source](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/cardinal.png)
## Fire 👍👍👍
*It ... is ... open ... source ... too ... and ... supports ... **Linux***
[**Source code**](https://github.com/jerryuhoo/Fire)
So I'm just installing it with a package manager and trying.
![A real fire](/static/posts/vst-on-linux-2/fire.png)
## Ruina 👍
*And a couple of others*
It would be too good, if this one had a Linux version. To get this plugin, you will have to create an account, and download their installer 👿
[https://noiseengineering.us/products/the-freequel-bundle-sinc-vereor-virt-vereor-ruina](https://noiseengineering.us/products/the-freequel-bundle-sinc-vereor-virt-vereor-ruina)
After downloading an Installer, I'm installing it with **wine **to the same prefix I install all their other plugins
$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/" wine Noise\ Engineering\ Products\ 09358.exe
![The installer](/static/posts/vst-on-linux-2/noise-engineering.png)
It will install plugins, we've only left to sync yabridge config.
$ yabridgectl sync
![Running Ruina ](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/runia-plugin.png)
![Sinc Vereor](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/sirt-plugin.png)
![Virt Vereor](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/virt-vereor.png)
All of them are working flawlessly. One wouldn't even notice that they're not native
---
## Gatelab 👍 / Filterstep 👎 / Panflow 👍
No **Linux** version again, so I'm gonna. And they want me to enter my email again. That's a shame, but let's do it anyway. If Venus Theory says they're good, I'm sure they really are.
$ export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/"
$ wine Audiomodern_Filterstep_1.1.2/WIN/Filterstep_64\ 1.1.2\ \(Win64\).exe
$ wine Audiomodern_Gatelab_1.1.3/WIN/Gatelab\ 1.1.3\ \(Win64\).exe
$ wine Audiomodern_Panflow_1.0.1/WIN/Panflow\ 1.0.1\ \(Win64\).exe
I had to rerun Ardour multiple times in order to make these plugins work. **Panflow** is running fine
![Panflow](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/panflow.png)
Gatelab is working fine too
![Gatelab](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/gatelab.png)
But when I add **Filterstep**, Ardour stops responding. I'm sure it's possible to make it work too, so I will try doing that in one of the next articles.
## PaulXStretch 👍👍👎
I was tired after **Audiomodern** plugins, because they were freezing my Ardour and I had to log out and log in again to my system, for Ardour wouldn't run again after that.
But **PaulXStretch** has a native Linux version too, and it has given me a strength to finish with this top.
So I'm just installing it with a package manager.
But my expectations were too high. I couldn't add PaulXStretch as a plugin in my **DAW**, even **Carla** couldn't handle it. Only [Kushview Element](https://kushview.net/) could handle it outside a **DAW**, but I couldn't connect Ardour with Element using JACK yet (probably because I'm too dummy). But when running **Element** as a plugin inside an **Ardour**, when I add PaulXStretch, Ardour crashes.
But on the official site of this plugin, there is nothing said about a plugin version of PaulXStretch for Linux. So you can use it as a standalone application. Just record whatever you want, stretch and render an audio file to import it to your **DAW**.
![PaulXStretch as a standalone application](/posts/vst-on-linux-2/paulxstretch.png)
---
Actually, I'm very happy to see that 4 of 9 plugins has a native Linux support. It means that developers see now that Linux can be used for music production. And it makes me feel that Linux is becoming more adopted by more and more guys who just want to make music without struggling with their systems.

Thanks for reading
Oi!

I've been told that I should add descriptions to plugins I'm writing about here, and it sounds very reasonable. So now I will not only describe how to install a plugin but also add a small description to it.
## Prerequisite
All of them are covered in [the first post]({{< ref "vst-on-linux-1" >}})
- You have Wine and Yabridge installed
- You have a Wine prefix configured (in my case, `$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins/`, so every time you see it, use your own wine prefix)
## Before we begin
In the previous post, I was trying to run PaulXStretch on Linux, and using it as a plugin in a DAW didn't work out. I've tried to update the JUCE library in the source code, and now it's working. You can find the code here: [https://git.badhouseplants.net/badhouseplants/paulxstretch](https://git.badhouseplants.net/badhouseplants/paulxstretch)
To build, refer to the official build doc or use the `/build_docker.sh` script
## Melda Free Bundle 👍
You can find it here: <https://www.meldaproduction.com/MFreeFXBundle>
It's not a one plugin, but a whole bunch of them. I used to have it on my Mac a long ago, but I hate this way of managing plugins, so I don't install them if I'm not sure, I need them. And I never felt this way about **Melda Free Bundle.**
But now I'll try running it on **Linux**. I don't think I'll ever use it, even if it runs smoothly as hell. So I will create an additional temporary wine prefix to install it there.
$ export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins_tmp"
$ wine maudioplugins_16_01_setup.exe
Install Melda Free bundle
### MDrummer
[MDrummer](https://www.meldaproduction.com/MDrummer)
Let's start with the MDrummer plugin. I've tried to run it as a plugin in **Ardour**,but it killed it. So I've added it with a **Carla** as a wrapper
I'm downloading several GBs of samples and other data to make it work.
![MDrummer](/posts/vst-on-linux-3/mdrummer.png)
I'd say it's over-bloated. And UI is a wee bit laggy on Linux
Let's see what we can do with it
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/mdrummer-example.mp4" "video-1" >}}
### MDrumReplacer
[MDrumReplacer](https://www.meldaproduction.com/MDrumReplacer)
As I understand, this plugin is catching drum signals and replacing them with another sound. So I'll add it next to the **MDrummer** in the **Carla Rack**.
![Replacer](/posts/vst-on-linux-3/mdrummer-lfo-carla.png)
I've also added LFO in the chain, to modify the pitch value of the **MDrumReplacer** with it, so it doesn't sound so boring (at least, to me).
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/mdrummer-example-lfo.mp4" "video-2" >}}
### MPowerSynth
It's just a synth. I don't like the interface, and I'm not gonna use it in the future, so I'm simply using a preset.
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/mpower-synth.mp4" "video-3" >}}
It sounds a wee bet laggy, but it's just on a video
---
*I'm sorry, I'm not trying all of them, because it's too much. Let's try another one and go further.*
### MGuitarArchitect
It's like a pedal board, as I see. I can add many effects here. Let's try adding it to the same **Carla Rack** that is used for the bass.
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/mguitar-architect.mp4" "video-4" >}}

## u-he TyrellN6 👍
[u-he TyrellN6 ](https://u-he.com/products/tyrelln6/)
I think that almost every **u-he** plugins has a native **Linux** support, and **Tyrell** is not an exception. But you most probably won't be able to install it with a package manager, because it's available only on Amazona.de. So just follow the link on the official web-page and download the Linux version.
This is a pretty minimalistic synth, that can help you produce a lot of cool sounds without spending tons of hours learning it. I definitely can recommend it, as I can recommend anything developed by **u-he**
Unpack the archive and run the **./install.sh** script
$ ./TyrellN6-3898/install.sh
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/tyrell.mp4" "video-5" >}}
I can't tell anything bad about **u-he**, I love all their plugins, I love that they support Linux and I love that they together with **Bitwig** are working on the new plugin open-source format ([CLAP](https://github.com/free-audio/clap)).
Tyrell is just a very cool free synth. What else can I say?
---
## Valhalla Supermassive 👍
I've already covered Valhalla plugins in the [first post]({{< ref "vst-on-linux-1" >}}), so it doesn't make sense to repeat myself, instead of that, I'll add every free **Valhalla** plugin to the project and show you how it's working.
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/vallhalla.mp4" "video-6" >}}
## Spitfire Labs 👍
[Spitfire Labs](https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/?sortBy&#x3D;prod_products_labs_latest)
I think, everybody knows what's that. But if you don't and you don't mind creating a Spitfire account, just try.
I need to create an account for downloading that. *But I already have one, because I'm an active LABS user.*
$ wine SpitfireAudio-Win-3.4.0.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
You will have to install presets
![Spitfire App](/posts/vst-on-linux-3/spitfire-labs-app.png)
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/labs-example.mp4" "video-7" >}}
## Infinite Space Piano 👍
[Space Piano](https://zaksound.com/infinite-space-piano/)
This is a piano synth. I already have a lot of them, and as for me, this is yet another one. But is sounds pretty good, so you may like it.
This time I really need to create an account, because it's the first time I hear about this one.
There is no **Linux** version, I'm getting the **Windows** one. I've got a feeling that I'm not gonna use it in the future, so I'm installing it in the temporary prefix.
$ export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine_vst_plugins_tmp/"
$ wine Infinite\ Space\ Piano\ 2.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/space-piano.mp4" "video-8" >}}
## ProjectSAM Free Orchestra 👎
[Free Orchestra](https://projectsam.com/libraries/the-free-orchestra/)
![Free Orchestra](/posts/vst-on-linux-3/native-access.png)
Ok, let's try
I'm downloading **Native Access**, and it's not working. And this is the moment, I'm giving up on this plugin.
## Eventide Pendulate👍
[Eventide Pendulate](https://www.eventideaudio.com/plug-ins/pendulate/)
Downloading a Windows version again.
$ wine Pendulate-1.3.6-windows-installer.exe
$ yabridgectl sync
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/eventide-pendulate.mp4" "video-9" >}}
Running just fine
As you see, this is a pretty interesting Synth, I have enough of synths for everything, but this one may join the ranks too.
## VCV Rack 👍
[VCV Rack](https://vcvrack.com/)
VCV Rack is an open-source Eurorack modular synthesizer simulator
I've already covered the Cardinal plugin [here]({{< ref "vst-on-linux-2" >}}). And this is basically the same thing. And so I will just show **Cardinal** instead of **VCV Rack**. But if you want VCV Rack, it's working on Linux just fine, but you can't use the free version as a plugin, that's why I'm showing Cardinal
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/vcv-rack.mp4" "video-10" >}}
I didn't have enough time to learn it yet, so that's what I could do with it
## U-He Protoverb 👍
[U-He Protoverb](https://u-he.com/products/protoverb/)
Protoverb is a reverb created by u-he. It has native Linux support
Download the **Linux** version and install it by running a script. You can find everything [here](https://u-he.com/products/protoverb/)
## PaulXStretch 👍
It's already covered in the previous article. But since then, one thing is changed. You could've seen it in the very beginning of the post, that I've updated JUCE library in the source code, and now it's running as a VST plugin. If you missed it, try reading the beginning one more time.
I'm testing it currently, but you can help me with that.
## Bonus: Vital 👍
[Vital](https://vital.audio/)
I think this is the best Synth ever made. It's open source and has Linux support. I use it in every project and if you don't, I recommend you to start doing that.
{{< video "/posts/vst-on-linux-3/vital.mp4" "video-11" >}}
The video is laggy again, but in reality it's fine.
