Overview
Last time we mapped sound fonts to a MIDI sequence but you can also map a software digital synthesizer to a MIDI sequence and add effects to it as well.
Resources
The programs that we will be installing in Ubuntu are:
- Jack Rack – Sound effects creation tool
- ZynAddSubFX – Software synthesizer

You can install all of these applications from the Ubuntu terminal with the following command:
sudo apt-get install jack-rack zynaddsubfx hydrogen
