Latest version: included in KDE2.x

    The latest aRts version is included with the latest KDE version. One part is in kdelibs, and another part in kdemultimedia. So if you install these two packages, you will have a complete aRts. At the time of writing this, the latest stable KDE version is 2.0, the latest beta KDE version is 2.1beta2, where the version of aRts included with the 2.1 beta is much more powerful than the one included with 2.0.

Brahms sequencer (daily snapshot) Standalone version

    If you don't use KDE (and don't want to use KDE), you can still use the aRts soundserver as standalone application. There are releases and daily development snapshots which will compile without an installed KDE version.

Very old version

    Before KDE2.0, aRts and Brahms used KDE1.x. At that time aRts was also built on top of CORBA, and the version number was something like aRts-0.3.4. You will find these versions still on older linux distributions, and some of the documentation of this site here is also referring to them (i.e. the manual), but should really be updated. Due to porting, the new aRts versions don't yet support everything the old aRts versions could do, but we're slowly getting there. On the other hand, they support lots of things the old aRts versions could not do.

    In any case, you can download these older software versions here. Don't expect them to work with recent environments (i.e. KDE2.x) though.
