Ewisynth

simple synth for breath controllers

Formats

All plugins in this collection come in the following plug-in formats:

• LV2
• [VST2]
• [VST3]
• CLAP

The plugins depend on the host to provide a generic UI to control parameters.

Compiling

Make sure you have installed the required build tools and libraries (see section "Prerequisites" below) and then clone this repository (including sub-modules) and simply run make in the project's root directory:

git clone --recursive https://github.com:dingodoppelt/ewisynth
cd ewisynth
make

Installation

To install all plugin formats to their appropriate system-wide location, run the following command (root priviledges may be required):

make install

The makefiles support the usual PREFIX and DESTDIR variables to change the installation prefix and set an installation root directory (defaulty: empty). PREFIX defaults to /usr/local, but on macOS and Windows it is not used, since the system-wide installation directories for plugins are fixed.

Use make's -n option to see where the plugins would be installed without actually installing them.

You can also set the installation directory for each plugin format with a dedicated makefile variable.

• LV2: LV2_DIR (<prefix>/lib/lv2)
• VST2: VST2_DIR (<prefix>/lib/vst)
• VST3: VST3_DIR (<prefix>/lib/vst3)
• CLAP: CLAP_DIR (<prefix>/lib/clap)

Example:

make DESTDIR=/tmp/build-root PREFIX=/usr VST2_DIR=/usr/lib/lxvst install

To install the plugins only for your current user account, run:

make install-user

Again, you can also set the installation directory for each plugin format with a dedicated makefile variable.

• LV2: USER_LV2_DIR ($HOME/.lv2)
• VST2: USER_VST2_DIR ($HOME/.vst)
• VST3: USER_VST3_DIR ($HOME/.vst3)
• CLAP: USER_CLAP_DIR ($HOME/.clap)

Note: The given default values for all of the above listed environment variables differ depending on the target OS.

Prerequisites

• The GCC C++ compiler, library and the usual associated software build tools (GNU make, etc.).

  Debian / Ubuntu users should install the build-essential package to get these, Arch users the base-devel package group.

• pkgconf

The LV2 and [VST2] (vestige) headers are included in the DPF framework, which is integrated as a Git sub-module. These need not be installed separately to build the software in the respective plug-in formats.
