Voxin is not available for AMD64, because the synthesizer it is using
was built long before the 64-bit architecture was available. In fact, it
depends on old libraries that were outdated in 2004, and because it uses
proprietary, closed-source code, it would be impossible to rebuild it
with newer libraries or even to fix any bugs it has, especially since
the original maintainers of the codebase seem to have entirely abandoned
it. That being said, the 32-bit version should work without too many
issues aside from bugs, as long as you can get the proper compatibility
libraries for Voxin and the needed 32-bit compatibility libraries installed.
