In an ordinary Linux system it is recommended policy to only install Software Packages from a trusted Repository system and there are many valid security reasons to do so. AVL-MXE is a different case and it is focused on specific tasks which sometimes require software outside of Repositories to provide the best User experience. I cannot stress enough that any outside Packages that are included in AVL-MXE are provided by trustworthy sources and developers that have a proven record of providing safe and mature Applications. The reasons that these Applications are not included in either the Debian or MX Repositories are many… Some are encumbered by licenses that may not make them easy to integrate in Debian or MX, some may be too niche to have been noticed or included yet and some may be Closed-Source Software. In time some of these Packages may find their way into Repositories but until then they are being identified here both to inform Users of their presence and also to provide their web locations in case AVL-MXE Users want to check for upgrades between AVL-MXE ISO releases. *PLEASE NOTE: Commercial Demos of Software are explained in their own Chapter at the end of this Manual. Ardour Digital Audio Workstation – This is the top featured Open Source DAW included in AVL-MXE and has been in development for 20+ years. Outdated versions can be found in Repositories but it is very important to note that Ardour provides it’s own self-contained ‘bundles’ built with their own custom patched versions of supporting libraries and it’s developers ONLY support these bundles. In addition Ardour is Open Source but it is payware so Users are expected to either purchase the Ardour binary bundles or optionally build their own versions from Source Code. AVL-MXE provides a complementary fully paid and functional up to date version of Ardour on the ISO but upgrades will need to be purchased at the User’s discretion. Blender – Blender is a complete 3D Computer Graphics design Suite, AVL-MXE provides a Deb Package of the Blender binary bundle (similar to Ardour’s bundle). Yabridge – A very important tool to facilitate using Windows VST Audio Plugins in Linux DAWs in conjunction with Wine-Staging. It isn’t found in any Debian repositories but it’s developer distributes binaries from the project’s Github Repository. The Yabridge binaries are included by default on the ISO and are located in $HOME/.local/share/yabridge Odin2 Synthesizer - This phenomenal cross-platform LV2 and VST3 Synthesizer Virtual Instrument is independently distributed by it’s own developer on it’s own Website. Sitala Sitala Drum Sampler – This standalone and VST drum sampler is distributed from it’s developers Website. Sfizz SFZ Tools - A Plugin for hosting SFZ Sound Libraries, the Package on AVL-MXE is sourced for the SFZ Tools Website. Surge Synthesizer – Surge is a popular Open-source cross-platform Synthesizer. It is presented on AVLMXE with the Debian Package from it’s github project page. Helm Synthesizer – Matt Tytel’s Helm Synthesizer is Provided in a Debian Package from the Helm
