Flapwave 0.2.0 for Linux (x86_64), public preview
=====================================================

Flapwave is a synthesizer with a step sequencer built into the chassis, from Flaptown. This folder holds:

  Flapwave.clap    the CLAP plugin
  Flapwave.vst3    the VST3 plugin
  flapwave         the standalone app
  install.sh       installs the three into your home folder (no root needed)

PREVIEW: automation may change until 1.0. This is a 0.x build. Until 1.0 a parameter's ID or range can move, and a
host project that automates it may need its lanes redone. At 1.0 the IDs and ranges freeze for good.

Install
-------

  ./install.sh

copies Flapwave.clap to ~/.clap/, Flapwave.vst3 to ~/.vst3/ and flapwave to ~/.local/bin/. Rescan plugins in your
host (Bitwig, REAPER and others) afterwards. To remove them again:

  ./install.sh uninstall

Requirements
------------

  - Linux on x86_64 with glibc 2.31 or newer (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, Fedora 32+, any current Arch).
  - For the standalone: ALSA's libasound.so.2 (package libasound2 on Debian and Ubuntu, alsa-lib on Arch and
    Fedora), which every desktop already has. JACK is used when it is running, and not needed otherwise.
  - The faceplate needs X11 (or XWayland) and OpenGL.

The standalone
--------------

  flapwave                    opens the faceplate and plays through JACK if it is running, otherwise ALSA
  flapwave --backend alsa     pick the audio backend: auto, jack, alsa or dummy
  flapwave --help             every option (sample rate, period size, devices, MIDI ports, tempo)

There is also an AppImage of the standalone (flapwave-0.2.0-x86_64.AppImage): make it executable and run it.
