Viper4Linux-GUI

Official UI for Viper4Linux https://github.com/Audio4Linux/Viper4Linux

• Telegram: @ThePBone
• Supports both Viper4Linux2 and legacy Viper4Linux

Repository status

This project will likely not receive any more feature updates, as my focus has shifted towards JamesDSP for Linux.

JDSP is a free & open-source audio effects processor with more DSP algorithms that are actively developed. It also includes an updated GUI with more features, such as AutoEQ integration, a scripting engine for custom audio effects, and full Pipewire support.
