Octavian is a GNULinux software synthesizer that enables real-time sound creation.
One of its standout features is its modular task separation, which allows users to extend its functionality in a simple and stress-free fashion. Octavian's modules can be connected via channels, and it offers two different types of channels - audio and control (MIDI) - that can be freely converted to one another. For instance, MIDI can be converted to "voltage" in order to direct modules supporting voltage-controlling, and vice versa.
Before installing the software, it is essential to ensure that the required tools and libraries are available. These include development tools (such as g++, autoconf, automake, and autoheader), the FLTK library (which has been tested with version 1.1.2), the libsndfile library (for the player module), and an OSS compatible audio driver. Once these requirements are met, installing Octavian is relatively easy - simply run "./configure ./make su root ./make install."
All in all, Octavian is a top-tier, real-time synthesizer software that any user of the GNULinux operating system should consider. It is highly customizable, easy to install, and offers exceptional functionality.
