Description

Name: Surge Synthesizer

Homepage: https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/

Why should this be included in the repository?
Surge is a powerful synthesizer with a sizeable community.

Is it Open Source: yes
   
Who and how many users do you anticipate will use this software?
Musicians and sound designers can use this as a plugin in Solus-supported DAWs like Ardour and Bitwig Studio. Surge has a sizeable community behind it, so I imagine some like myself will appreciate a Solus package.

Event Timeline

If this gets accepted, I can try to package and maintain it. You can never have too many synths.

Please make sure that the imported git modules are only used if we don't have them already as system libraries. Please also make sure the remaining modules are distributed under normal licenses.

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 30 days. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a completed patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.
