Question about lv2 plugins

The_Traveler · March 31, 2020, 12:49am

Using Renoise 3.2.1 and I’m trying to work with some pre-compiled mda effects in lv2 format on my linux box. I use a real time low latency kernel and I seem to recall Renoise won’t load lv2 effects or generators unless they are compiled for real time usage? I’m thinking too maybe there’s something wrong with the search path but unlike LADSPA, DSSI and VST there seems to be no way (or need?) to set up a environment variable for lv2 in Renoise.

The DSSI, LADSPA and VST imports all seem to work properly.

Any further info would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi,
You must use CarlaRack for lv2 plugins.

Ah, okay. It seems my memory was faulty. After digging around some more it appears Renoise has never natively loaded .lv2 format.

So, thank you for the suggestions. I opted for building the wrapper linked to by 29a and that seems to work pretty well in tests. A number of .lv2 plugs that I would use, or their functionalities, are available in the other formats so it will all work out.

Cheers.

Does the calf plugins works fine with carla and Rendite? What about automation?
