  • This is a great program. Produces great effects, wonderful sounds! The only issue is the lack of documentation. Nevertheless, it is easy to use.
  • Been meaning to try this for years.... Should have done it earlier! It really works well for me, despite a puny Atom cpu in an HP netbook and a kludged lead from an electric Ukulele stuck into the microphone socket. Yes, this lash-up can be noisy - the impedances are mismatched, the signal levels too, but a very respectable result indeed. The processing is highly effective and the presets are (of course) variable in their suitability (not every effect is ideal for a ukulele) with gems that include a really decent and surprising choice of autowah effects. Never thought I'd say that. The user interface is logical, but there is a lot of it. That's because it can do so much. Fortunately there is a 'Random' button that creates random new patches for you - keep pushing it and some fun stuff can emerge. Documentation is helpful - press F1 and have a look, it even includes hardware suggestions and hints. I intend to follow that religiously so as to get the best from this gem - and I'll be spending money to get the suggested full fat Behringer interface (~£20) from Amazon, and trying a less-compact machine with some more CPU to see if that adds to the experience. Problems? A couple of the presets do seem to crash Rakarrack - but apart from that irt has been solid. Recommended to give it a go, if you have not already done so. Both guitar an uke work well with this.
  • This is a really cool program. It let's you fiddle with a lot of cool effects, without having to spend a lot of money. The program works really well, after a bit of fiddling with the Jack server, and it far exceeds some of the commercial programs I have tried. I hope that this project gets some attention :) If I wasn't a "coding dyslexic", I'd be the first to sign up.
  • program is no longer being developed? too bad
  • just discovered this application, and I found it very usefull to work with on my laptop. Many thanks !
  • Thanks for updates ;)

  • great app. way ahead of the field and very under exposed. the vst port would be great but a pig to install right now ( read impossible) the Guitar Zyx standalone distro is genius again hope to see more development there. Watch out for this in a tonefreqhz pedal soon on a par with the Awesome bodilizer only better for being open source. Rakarrack is a winner app of the decade.
  • Great project. Turns my acoustic-electric guitar into electric guitar with powerful effects, no need to buy the real thing :p
  • Excellent features.! Great program. Thanks for sharing.
  • Great program!
  • Awesome way to beef up any sounds in your project. Lots and lots o crunch!
  • I'm trying to incorporate this into an original distro and it would be great if it supported FLTK2 because, as it stands now, it will not be included because it's the only thing that depends on FLTK1.
  • Great program!
  • Love it. I sold all of my pedals. This is so much easier to use, sounds good and for live gigs means I carry and laptop and USB audio interface. I've been using it live and I have had no problems with it. Nice Job ! Elias
  • Good live rig. If you have laptop, but no extra cash for dedicated DSP FX processor, this is a good way to go.
