Quoting Graham Goode <[email protected]>:
Hi Guys,
This is not for the 1.1.1 RC release, but perhaps more a question for
1.2 or 2.0...

Will fluidsynth use the LV2 audio plugin standard? (LV2 is a simple
but extensible successor of LADSPA - http://lv2plug.in/). The popular
swh-plugins set is available in LV2 and has some great chorus and
reverb options...

Thanks for all that you guys are doing!
Graham

Seems like a good idea to me. It would be an optional build time dependency like LADSPA is currently. I recently tested FluidSynth LADSPA support and didn't experience any issues. I know it had some crash problems in the past, but this was never investigated. Has anyone tried FluidSynth LADSPA support recently? Anyone willing to give it a try? I suspect that the crash issue is related to architecture or something else. I looked over the code a bit and didn't see anything obvious. Its a bit difficult to fix a problem that can't be reproduced! Perhaps some of the recent thread safety changes fixed whatever issue was there.

Hello all

I had originally broached this topic about a year ago, but after some consideration I think that it would be better to develop fluidsynth itself as a lv2 plug-in. This would enable users to use fluidsynth as a plug-in into programs like Rosegarden and Ardour.



As for using FX in fluidsynth there are three possibilities:

1. As Josh has mentioned the LADSPA route could be worthy of renewed testing
2. Channel the fluidsynth signal via Jack-rack
3. When used with a sequencer, the fluidsynth signal could be routed through the sequencer's effects plug-ins.

Other thoughts and opinions requested.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!
Ebrahim.
