Download DSSI

about – specification – why use DSSI? – screenshots – mailing list – download

Download the DSSI development kit and some DSSI plugins from the SourceForge project page.

The packages available are:

dssi

The dssi package contains:

• The specification, header file and documentation for the DSSI 1.0 API.
• A complete DSSI host (jack-dssi-host) that can host any number of DSSI plugins with GUIs as a JACK application using the ALSA sequencer for MIDI input.
• A number of example plugins, including (just about) the simplest possible synth, another simple synth with GUI, and monophonic and stereo monotimbral samplers with GUIs.

FluidSynth-DSSI

The FluidSynth-DSSI package contains FluidSynth-DSSI, a wrapper for the FluidSynth SoundFont-playing software synthesizer, allowing it to function as a DSSI plugin. (This was formerly part of the main DSSI package.)

xsynth-dssi

The xsynth-dssi package contains the Xsynth-DSSI plugin, a classic-analog (VCOs-VCF-VCA) style software synthesizer with an editor GUI. Xsynth-DSSI was written by Sean Bolton, and was based on Steve Brooke's Xsynth code, but has since aquired polyphonic operation, band-limited oscillators, a better filter mode, and velocity-sensitive envelopes.

dssi-vst

The dssi-vst package contains a wrapper plugin for Windows VSTs that enables them to be used by DSSI hosts running on Linux or similar on i386, using Wine. dssi-vst was written by Chris Cannam.
