ZynFxControl
---------------
ZynAddSubFx effects controller
2013, Michel Vergnaud

==========================================================================================
"ZynAddSubFX is a open source software synthesizer capable of making a countless number of instruments, from some common heard from expensive hardware to interesting sounds that you'll boost to an amazing universe of sounds.The project was started in March 2002 by Nasca Octavian Paul. ..."
Quoted from http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
==========================================================================================

The software has been tested and works on a Linux Ubuntu system with Qt4 framework.
It uses RtMidi: realtime MIDI i/o C++ classes Copyright (c) 2003-2012 Gary P. Scavone

Aims
---------------
This program was created to provide a way to interact with the sound effects of the ZynAddSubFx synthesize from a real midi keyboard, or any midi surface controller or any midi device or software able to connect to a Jack system and send Midi messages.

Originally, ZynAddSubFx receives and manages a few midi messages : pitch bend, modulation wheel,... coming through control messages.
Other commands able to modify levels and parameters of effects can be passed through NRPN messages.
See details on http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/doc_3.html

This program does a translation between control messages received from a controller into NRPN codes needed by the synthesizer.

Compilation
---------------
The simplest way is to open the file ZynFxControl.pro in QtCreator and build it.
Otherwise, a 'make' command in the folder should work.
You'll need the ALSA library to be installed on your system :
	sudo apt-get install libasound2
	sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
on Debian based distributions.
