As promised in another thread, I have prepared several dotpups for audio/music/home-recording applications. These were created with Puppy 1.0.8rc1 because most of them either require or work best with ALSA. Each dotpup worked on at least three computers I use -- including a lowly, 400MHz/128MB laptop from 1997 -- so hopefully they are problem-free. Here you go:

(1) JACK-Qjackctl
The popular audio connection programs compiled from source. Qjackctl is the graphical interface for JACK that makes it a lot easier to use.

Smaller binary version - 6.55MB (6.89MB):

Larger development version with headers - 6.91MB (7.25MB)

(2) Ardour
Multichannel digital audio workstation for recording. Same version as used in Nathan F's Grafpup squashfile "usr_multimedia.sfs". Requires JACK to be installed, so download JACK-Qjackctl dotpup as well.

Binary version - 6.42MB (6.75MB)

(3) Vkeybd
Graphical virtual keyboard compiled from source. A little piano keyboard that allows you to play music with input on your computer keyboard or mouse. You can adjust the number of octaves appearing on the piano and control effects if you have them available through other programs. Default octave setting is 4.

Smaller binary version - 32K (38K)

Larger developmental version with headers - 48K (50K)
http://www.savefile.com/files/3330714

(4) Fluidsynth-Qsynth
A Soundfont player compiled from source. Qsynth is the graphical interface for Fluidsynth. Requires JACK to be installed AND RUNNING, so download JACK-Qjackctl dotpup as well and start JACK before starting Fluidsynth-Qsynth.

Smaller binary version - 6.06MB (6.36MB)
http://www.savefile.com/files/5374502

Larger developmental version with headers - 6.46MB (6.79MB)
http://www.savefile.com/files/8822868

(5) Xsynth-DSSI
Graphical soft-synth which has a number of preset synth and instrument sounds and allows you to create your own. Compiled from source. Requires JACK to be installed AND RUNNING, so download JACK-Qjackctl dotpup as well and start JACK before starting Xsynth-DSSI.

Smaller binary version - 1.07MB (1.23MB)
http://www.savefile.com/files/3572389

Larger developmental version with headers - 1.10MB (1.67MB)

(6) DSSI-VST (with VSTHost)
Command-line Windows VST instrument plug-in players from the same DSSI-VST package compiled from source. While there are a limited number of Linux instrument plug-ins, there are a TON of them for Windows in "dll" extension format. Contains a special folder for dll plug-in files. Requires JACK to be installed, so download JACK-Qjackctl dotpup as well. Also requires a modern version of Wine and I highly recommend Mark's/MU's "usr_more.sfs" squashfile for Wine 0.9.9 which has its own thread in this forum.

Smaller binary version - 1.10MB (1.56MB)
http://www.savefile.com/files/4889549

Larger developmental version with headers - 1.14MB (1.20MB)
http://www.savefile.com/files/2670362

Have fun and enjoy! Please let me know if there are any issues with any of them.
