Package: zytrax
Version: 0+git20190810-2
Severity: important
I installed zytrax and tried to follow http://zytrax.org/tutorial/ -- it
says:

But none of the effects appear to be "synth" effects, and it's unclear
how to get such a thing to become available. I tried installing
zam-plugins, which put a bunch of .so files in /usr/lib/vst/, but they
weren't recognized by zytrax.
Perhaps some Recommends: lines need to be added to the package? or if
zytrax knows how to use VST plugins, then maybe it needs to learn to
look in /usr/lib/vst/ ?
At the very least some documentation is probably necessary to make the
tool be usable.
The tutorial seems to encourage using Synister, which does not appear to
be in debian, but maybe could be if someone wants to ITP it (i can't do
it myself, alas): https://github.com/the-synister/the-source/
Thanks for maintaining zytrax in debian!
