Hey! I installed all the ubuntu (I'm on Debian 12 in my case) LV2 plugin packages recommended in the LMMS wiki on github, but I'm not really seeing any, only sfizz and a couple more which weren't even installed from the packages in the wiki... Definitely not seeting the x42 plugins

I tried with the latest master, both the appimage and compiled from source. No luck

HI! LV2 is a work in progress. Some plugins rely exklusivly on a gui but we have currently no support for gui in lv2. They have been manually blocked for now.

Is this normal?

#

I will try the GUI branch

Here: #5832, and please skip my first answer in that thread.

Maybe I AM missing that most are effects

#

But 15-ish still seems like too few instruments out of 270

#

Let me check that

You can turn on debugging for lv2 and get a printout for at least some of the missing plugins.

export LMMS_LV2_DEBUG=1
./lmms
#

They can be not compatible with lmms for a lot of reasons such as: more than 2 output channels, no audio output (midi plugin, not implemented), etc.

I didn't even know effects existed tbh, still very new to LMMS

#

Thanks!

👍

#

Though it seems weird that only like 1% of the LV2s are considered instruments

#

Yeah some of the effects are definitely instruments

#

Like sfizz and AGML

#

They don't do anything useful when opened from the effects menu

toxic raven
#

It could be that the plugin in question also has an input and therefore is interpreted as an effect.

latent oasis
#

Maybe having the UI before going into more complicated setups is a good idea

#

But it'd be nice to be able to somehow open these plugins with a weird complex setup or inputs/outputs as their own instrument too

#

sfizz and AGML. Can you provide links to where you got these ones?

latent oasis
#

"sfizz is a sample-based musical synthesizer.

It features the well-established SFZ instrument format at its core, which permits to use existing instrument libraries, or create personal instruments with ease."

#

sfizz specifically also shows up in the instruments

#

So it's weird

#

But AGML is a synth and only shows up under effects

toxic raven
#

AGML doesn't seem to be available as LV2 though.

#

OK, I've installed and tested sfizz and it turns up under instruments in the lv2-ui branch. It doesn't show up as an effect in any the versions of lmms I've tested.

Weird

peak river

when you're adding an effect

I figured it out, thx :P
