LYNX-SHARE Files

First public release of LYNX — a lightweight DAW in C++20/JUCE with the FL Studio workflow.

[!IMPORTANT] Alpha release: it already opens, plays and exports whole projects, but it is not yet a daily-driver DAW. Bug reports are very welcome in Issues.

Getting started

1. Download LYNX-0.1.0-alpha-windows-x64.zip (or just LYNX.exe) and extract it to a folder.
2. Run LYNX.exe and, to start, open the Demo.lynx project included in the zip.
3. Requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). No installer needed.

The executable is not code-signed yet: Windows SmartScreen may warn on first launch — click More info → Run anyway.

What's in this release

• Channel Rack, Piano Roll, Playlist with multiple arrangements, Mixer with sends, sidechain and 10 slots per track
• 3-oscillator synth (with a harmonics oscillator), sampler with time-stretch, built-in drums
• Effects: 7-band parametric EQ, compressor with sidechain, limiter, delay, reverb, chorus, Effector, vocoder, pitch correction, lo-fi and more
• VST3 and CLAP plugins (optionally in a separate process)
• Imports FL Studio .flp projects (channels, samples, patterns, arrangement, automation, mixer and 40+ native plugins) and .mid
• Exports WAV, FLAC and OGG
