Lv2 is supported on master.
pacman -S lilv lv2
brew install lilv lv2
For compiling: lv2-dev liblilv-dev
From the directory containing vcpkg:
.\vcpkg install lilv lv2
If you get an error about missing ports, you may need to update vcpkg first:
git pull
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
Lv2 plugins are not shipped with LMMS. This section shall describe which packages you need to install to get as many Lv2 plugins as possible.
pacman -S calf lsp-plugins mda.lv2 noise-repellent surge x42-plugins
yay -S lv2-plugins-aur-meta
(to be done)
# TODO: add more plugins
sudo apt-get install calf-plugins mda-lv2 x42-plugins swh-lv2
# Additional plugins for Ubuntu 20.04 or higher
sudo apt-get install lsp-plugins-lv2 dpf-plugins-lv2
You can download LV2 plugins from the internet. A good place to get started is https://x42-plugins.com/.
Currently, we support
- Core (except CV ports)
- URIDs
- MIDI atoms
Run LMMS_LV2_DEBUG <path to lmms> to get a complete list of unsupported plugins.
If a system-installed plugin has no debugging symbols, compile it and prepend the self-compiled version to the LV2_PATH:
LV2_PATH=/path/above/plugin/path:$LV2_PATH /path/to/lmms
For example, if you want to debug ZynAddSubFX, and it is in /a/b/c/ZynAddSubFX.lv2:
LV2_PATH=/a/b/c:$LV2_PATH /path/to/lmms
https://github.com/OpenMusicKontrollers/lv2lint#lv2lint
It needs to be compiled from source.
By default lv2lint will look for plugins in LV2_PATH. For a complete list of options type lv2lint -h.
The simplest example command would be to just pass the plugin uri:
lv2lint http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Vinyl
For a more extensive report:
lv2lint -d -E warn -E note http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Vinyl
