How to install and use SURGE synthesiser on Raspberry PI / Lanthan's sound set challenge

video by Floyd Steinberg

"SURGE is a subtractive / hybrid synth available as a VST or LV2 plugin for free. Table of contents and relevant links below, demo track begins at 13:09 . Some days ago, @Lanthan O'Ide challenged us to create tracks using his new sound set for surge (see https://gumroad.com/lanthanoide). I decided to make the challenge extra challenging by utilizing the relatively new ARM version of that plugin and of course there were some roadblocks.

Table of contents:

00:00 hello
00:36 hardware setup
00:51 downloading the source code
01:20 downloading the required plugin sources, libraries, updating your OS
01:50 build the plugin from source
02:01 install the plugin
02:26 showcasing CPU bottlenecks on ARM and possible workarounds
04:49 overclocking the CPU
05:14 browsing some of Lanthan's patches
07:18 sketching a track in reaper
07:46 adding a reverb plugin on top of surge
08:29 (awesome pad and reverb, check this out ;-) )
08:50 rendering a take into an audio file to reduce stress on CPU
10:01 adding a plucked sound
11:43 adding drums using a Sound Font and CARLA
13:09 finished track (plus guitar)

PsyCo X Syncussion SY-1M w/ Red Knobs

"The SY-1M is a faithful reproduction of an extremely versatile drum synthesizer from the late 1970’s. With 6 Oscillator Modes per channel, it is capable of a wide range of sounds, from the classic 70’s disco “peeoww” to tight bells, thunderous Kick drums and Gnarly Bass sounds.

This clone includes the original CV and trigger inputs but also per channel MIDI-controlled triggering, pitch and decay. This greatly expands the possibilities and makes it more flexible."

You can find demos in previous posts here.

"KORG's masterpiece, monophonic analog synthesizer, 44-key model, MP-4 Mono Poly! The Japan Vintage Synthesizer released in 1981 is still a very popular synth! Equipped with 4 VCOs, it can be used as a pseudo 4-tone polyphonic! Of course, it is also possible to change the waveform and octave of each VCO, so it is also possible to build an unusual sound using the built-in arpeggiator!"
