What it is
LYNX SHARE is a lightweight digital audio workstation written in C++20 with JUCE, and licensed under AGPL-3.0. The design goal stated in the description is a FL Studio-style workflow: Channel Rack, Piano Roll, Playlist and Mixer, with .flp project import.
Capabilities described
The preview credits the classics as inspiration and lists several concrete parts. The playlist holds pattern, automation and audio clips, with a right-click clip menu offering split, chop, merge, reverse, normalize and fit-to-tempo among other operations. The synth has three oscillators, an evolving harmonics oscillator, a choice of state-variable or four-pole ladder filter, and a vintage chorus. The sampler supports zones, slices, time-stretching via Signalsmith Stretch and disk streaming. A SoundFont player handles SF2 and SF3 with preset search across installed SoundFonts, and there is a built-in drum set covering kick, snare, hat and clap.
Repository topics place it alongside clap-host, beat-maker and cross-platform DAW tooling, and name Linux specifically — consistent with JUCE's portability but not proof of which platforms are packaged.
Getting started
No build instructions, binaries or dependency list were supplied, so they are not given here. As an AGPL-3.0 C++ project, expect to compile it and to respect the licence's source-sharing terms.
Caveats
Audio quality, plugin formats and stability are not evidenced, and .flp import completeness is unstated beyond the mention in the description.
