when will be lv2 plugin support available in lmms?
thx s lot!
I found out that the LV2 plugin support is already possible with the carla plugin.

you have to add the kxstudio repositories

then type the following cmds

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install lmms
sudo apt-get install carla
sudo apt-get install carla-git
when you open lmms again you have the carla patchbay and carla rack listed in your instrument plugins.
if you add the carla rack to your songeditor you can open the carla GUI.
in the carla GUI you have to define the right path for the LV2 folder and refresh.
after that you can use all plugins that are found in the defined folders.
for testing i loaded the Calf fluid synth opend a *.sf2 soundfont and added the Calf reverb.
the Calf synth was controlled by the piano roll in the song editor.
thx to falkTX for the support in linuxmusician forum (search for:
[SOLVED] LMMS, Carla and Arch64
thread).

after exporting the lmms project to a *.wav i could here all effects defined in the carla GUI rack.

maybe this information can help you.
Maybe I should switch to Arch :P

I failed on openSUSE, to get Carla working.

I compiled lmms rc 3 and carla from git, and although both carla showed in the instrument rack, it did not work.

I have two questions. Which lmms did you install ? is that 1.1.3 ?

And why did you install two versions of Carla if I understand this right ?
I use Linux Ubuntu Studio 17.0.4
This is my favourite Audio Video Distro.
Everything works well!

At the moment there is version 17.10 released :-)

LMMS Version 1.1.3 was preinstalled
I installed carla and carla-git as falkTX said i had to.

After the above described commands everything works fine!
is there any possible way to get lv2 effect plugins into a FX-Mixer channel?

a hidden CarlaRackFX.dll maybe? :)
