LMMS • Forums

I installed lmms from Fedora repository using the following command:
`sudo dnf install lmms`
But, vocoder plugin is not in there, so I downloaded vocoder source code from http://www.sirlab.de/linux/download_vocoder_ladspa.html and compiled it and copied the resulting vocoder.so library to my ladspa plugins folder as set in LMMS' options (In my case, `/usr/lib64/ladspa`), but when I search vocoders in LMMS' effects or LADSPA Plugin Browser (from the Tools menu), it does not show up.

Welcome to the forum powergame_coder2! First, For you, all important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
And a few rules for Avatars, signatures, posting and using the right sub-forum :)

I suppose you are are referring to the default effect-plugin 'vocoder'
I believe it was first included in the 1.1.3 ed.
I cant read the version info on your picture, but is your version 1.1.3. ?
Some repositories are not upgraded. In fact its darn annoying that there are so many [rant]different versions of linux / installers /tarball and what not. [/rant]

I can see that Fedora has given other users problems too:
viewtopic.php?t=5224
as 'std' the KXstudio's distro is the one that most has full success with:
KXStudio "lmms-vst-full - Linux Multimedia Studio - full VST support Using Wine"
But thats not Fedora. Not sure about Fedora, im afraid.

I will mark your topic for linux assistance

Welcome to the forum powergame_coder2!

Thank you musikbear for the link, I just read the page.
The LMMS version I am using is, as you said, 1.1.3. , and yes I mean the effects plugin. Actually I cannot find vocoder both among the effects and in LADSPA Browser from Tools menu - not sure if all LMMS ports have it there. I might have to remove LMMS and build the latest version on Fedora from https://github.com/LMMS/lmms, as there might actually be appropriate flags to enable it on installation, or that it is enabled by default.

The situation with the vocoder is complicated.

The upstream vocoder has an incompatible port configuration. When the vocoder was modified to work with LMMS it was placed among the SWH plugins by mistake (or ignorance). The Fedora package doesn't include SWH plugins, instead relying on an external SWH package, which doesn't contain the vocoder.

To work around this the modified vocoder was then sent to SWH for inclusion...
