I have idea, how to implement for ladspa/dssi, but unsure for lv2. > Currently there are following formats: > LADSPA: ladspa:/<path to library>/<label> > DSSI: same, but begining with "dssi:/" > LV2: lv2 plugin url (i don't know, is it possible to load plugin from > specific library, and they recommend to identify plugins only by URL - at > least remember URL's for database, used across sessions). > > Not implemented: > Just have to learn VAMP and somehow try VST - for some completeness. > For soundfonts, gig banks, and instrument definitions there may be same way > as for ladspa/dssi. Sampler banks mode should be handy for > linuxsampler/fluidsynth gui, not providing any instrument browser (qsampler > doesn't have it, and linuxsampler database supports only gig format). > > Screenshot: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/06/05/plasma-desktopau6238.png > > About publishing. I have account on savannah, and want to publish it there. > But i'm going to add vst support, and i'm not sure, is it possible (even if > licensing is kept, how about fact itself, that it supports this feature)? > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
