Using this with lv2vst problems

Open fractalf opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi, first of all, thanks for all the great projects under the x42 banner!

I'm aware that you're not supporting vst (there's an issue already about that), so I tried to get this working in Bitwig on Linux Mint by using the lv2vst bridge.

Are there any reports on people getting this to work or are there any reasons this shouldn't work?

Here's some debug on what I did

lv2vst

I successfully build this so all should be working, but Bitwig doesn't find any of the x42 plugins.

The docs seems to indicate that x42 plugins should be working

git clone https://github.com/x42/lv2vst
cd lv2vst
make
mkdir -p ~/.vst/lv2vst
cp lv2vst.so ~/.vst/lv2vst/lv2vst.so

# this assume you have x42-plugins, specifically x42-eq installed
# or use `lv2ls` to find some LV2 URI/URI-prefixes.
echo "http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/fil4#mono" > ~/.vst/lv2vst/.whitelist
echo "http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/fil4#stereo" >> ~/.vst/lv2vst/.whitelist

I added the sisco plug

> cat .vst/lv2vst/.whitelist 
http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/fil4#mono
http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/fil4#stereo
http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/sisco#4chan

x42-plugins

They are installed

> apt search x42-plugins 
i   x42-plugins                     - Collection of LV2 plugins

All the kxstudio plugins are showing up in Bitwig, which is why I find this strange. Unless the x42 plugs actually shouldn't work with the lv2vst bridge.

Thanks a lot for any insight that might help me get this up :)
