Re: [orca-list] ot: ecasound and lv2



Was asking generally about which commercial plugins of the known ones
are available for linux, just for curiosity.
String parameters in things like mod-host are not available? why? :O

You mean commercial plugins do exist but you cannot edit everything in
them compared to their versions for other systems, or they generally are
not much configurable?
I was referring to plugins in AU, AAX and VST formats as are used in
many mac and windows DAWs. In a way the same is true for LV2 plugins,
when you only go by the graphical interface. At least in Ecasound,
mod-host and others you get access to all numerical parameters (i.e. no
filenames for loading presets or impulse responses or samples).
And which of the known ones are those?
The ones that work or don't work?

On Linux I have used the Dragonfly reverb, the Drowaudio reverb, one or
two vocoders, a sidechain compressor and gate. There is one DX7
emulation which works well with mod-host, but I couldn't compile it on
my Archlinux system, a few weeks ago. That could change quickly though.
It is made to work with mod-host for their hardware devices. mod-host is
developed as a major software component of hardware pedals/modules.

I did have problems with the only vinyl/record emulation on mod-host, a
few effects didn't work for long. Another DX7 plugin had bad value
ranges (everything just going 0 to 1) and I didn't get audio. This can
be a problem with some other half commercial plugins, or plugins which
exist in different formats. I think VST only allows parameter ranges
from 0 to 1 through their "control ports".

Does that partly answer your question, or am I completely off?

How many good plugins are available on Linux? Hm, quite a few, if you
don't have to use the GUI. I have my favourites and so don't look much
further, normally. I know on the commercial systems there are enough,
but on many you can't edit all the parameters, which has always been a
no-go for me. The overall selection of plugins and synths on Linux is
not as wide as on mac or windows, but there are a few which I can edit
down to the last parameter and that makes up for much. :)
