#LV2 plugins not showing up
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I tried with the latest master, both the appimage and compiled from source. No luck
only instruments show up there
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.
So is there any place I can see the rest of LV2 plugins?
- You can test this branch which is where the lv2 gui is developed: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/7201
- You can disable the blacklisted plugins by launching lmms from the command line with the arguments:
export LMMS_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1
./lmms
The issue I mean is I get like "275 LV2s loaded" and not blacklisted, then only a few show up
Is this normal?
I will try the GUI branch
No, I think there is an open issue for this so you're not alone but I can't find it right now. I'll look around.
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.
Okay I can confirm all loaded plugins show up under either instruments or effects
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
It could be that the plugin in question also has an input and therefore is interpreted as an effect.
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?
Ample Guitar, Ample Bass, Ample Metal, AGG, AGF, AGP, AGM, AGT, AGL, AGML, AME, AMR, ABA, ABP, ABJ, Virtual Instruments, Sample library, Tab Player, Strummer
"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
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
they should show up in the regular fx list
when you're adding an effect
I figured it out, thx :P
#5832, @Daniele71: Lmms-1.3.0-alpha (appimage from website) almost no LV2 Plugins
