Digital Keyboard Workstation for Linux

2014-2024 Gideon van der Kolf, noedigcode@gmail.com

Welkom by Konfyt.

Konfyt is a digital keyboard workstation for Linux which allows you to set up patches, each with multiple layers, and instantly switch between these patches for live keyboard playing. Patches may consist of multiple layers of soundfonts (.sf2), SFZs, audio input ports and MIDI output ports. Konfyt features a library which scans the filesystem for and allows quick access to soundfont programs and SFZs.

While I use Konfyt on a daily basis and I'm confident using it for a live performance, do your own testing and use it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any trauma due to failures during live performances.

Konfyt is open source under the GPL license and makes use of Qt, JACK, Carla, liblscp and Fluidsynth. You have the option (see command line arguments) of loading SFZ files with Carla (which uses SFZero), or with Linuxsampler (which is licensed under GPL with a commercial exception).

Requirements for running:

Konfyt is mainly developed on Linux Mint 21.3 (based on Ubuntu 22.04).

The following are required to run Konfyt:

The versions listed above are known to work, but different versions should work too.

Linuxsampler is available in the KXStudio repositories (http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories) for Ubuntu based systems.

If you try to run a Konfyt binary on Ubuntu 21+ that was built on Ubuntu 20, you may need to create a symlink for libfluidsynth.so.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu pointing to libfluidsynth.so.3....

Requirements for building:

See the testing branch for the latest features. Although it's still technically under testing, it should be quite stable.

The following are required to build Konfyt:

Building:

To build from the command line, run the following from the source code directory:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../konfyt.pro
make

To build without Carla support, alter the qmake command as follows:

qmake "CONFIG+=KONFYT_NO_CARLA" ../konfyt.pro

A "konfyt" executable file will be produced.
