Audio LV2 from KRT...
Under Construction
🦍 Gorilla
Inspired by ThePrimeagen and his great work of art testing Devin just
before Christmas 2024. Also a good Unicode test of LV2 hosts. The details are
being worked out but expect another 3 plugins in the set of 4. It’s like a
general template, but with some MIDI CC señor. If it was too logical, it would
lack the kind of uniqueness that might be worth a little. The plugin world is
a crowded place.
Plugins...
Ah, plugins. So the VCVRack is quite nice and my plugins there are KRTPluginA . Nice. So on to some newer code making LV2 plugins. The code is not open circa 2024, and there are many decisions to make. I’m finding carla for the test host to be OK. The OSC control feature is going to be useful.
This section of the website is also for the needed URI that LV2 needs for the
manifest files. This makes the plugins Linux by design and possibly working
on Mac by Darwin compatibility and Windows by MSYS2
.
It seems very similar to VST and VCVRack design, and supports other formats
which I don’t think I’ll be using. Hold onto your knobs.
Lua Audio...
So a library for Lua to do some kind of audio. I don’t mean multimedia loading
as this could be simple os.execute(...) call wrappers, with perhaps "...&",
but a bit of that is still an idea to add later. It’s more sort of chip-tune
kind of stuff. So os.execute("<c-program> <arg> ... | pw-play --channels=1 -&")
for a more exciting audio generation experience. As each note would then
become threaded, which for small sound experimentation would be fine.
VCV Rack Plugin [Free]...
An audio plugin of virtual Eurorack modules. A free download for VCV Rack written in C++ under an MIT licence. Downloads are in the tens of thousands and as such it’s KRT’s most popular software.
Download here by subscribing and then updating the library from within the VCV application. There is a free version of VCV available from the VCV homepage as well as a pro version with a VST adapter for integration with your music DAW. It’s a very nice experimental audio platform with many third party plugins.
