🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rakarrack [options] files...

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so, Rakarrack is a richly featured multi-effects processor that literally emulates a guitar effects pedalboard 🎛️ like, a whole pedalboard. in software. the way that it just does that?? obsessed.

the effects include compressor, noise gate, expander, shuffle, ring, synthfilter, varyband, mutromojo, looper, arpie, graphic equalizer, parametric equalizer, flanger, dual flange, chorus, echo with reverse playback, musical delay, reverb, digital phaser, analogic phaser, wah-wah, alien-wah, harmonizer, shifter, sequence, sustainer, shelfboost, vocoder, coil crafter, echoverse, convolotron, stompbox, exciter and four flexible distortion modules including sub-octave modulation and dirty octave up. no cap. that's the list. all of it 🫶

most of the effects engine is built from modules found in the excellent software synthesizer ZynAddSubFX — shoutout, we stan a foundation 💖

presets and user interface are optimized for guitar, but here's the tea bestie: Rakarrack processes signals in stereo while it does not apply internal band-limiting filtering, and thus is well suited to all musical instruments and vocals 🎤🌈 so like... it's not just for guitar, it's for everyone, main character energy for all instruments fr fr.

Rakarrack is designed for Linux distributions with Jack Audio Connection Kit 🌸
