Calf is a pack of audio plugins - effects and instruments, currently in
|
|
development. The goal is to create a set of plugins using decent algorithms
|
|
and parameter settings, available in a form which is compatible with as many
|
|
open source applications as possible.
|
|
|
|
How to use Calf plugins:
|
|
|
|
* LADSPA plugins
|
|
|
|
Calf is installed as calf.so library in your LADSPA directory (typically
|
|
/usr/lib/ladspa). It means that typical LADSPA host should be able to find
|
|
Calf's plugins.
|
|
|
|
* DSSI plugins
|
|
|
|
Calf .so module is also installed in your DSSI plugin directory, which means
|
|
your DSSI host (like jack-dssi-host or rosegarden) should find it and
|
|
include its plugins in the plugin list.
|
|
|
|
* JACK client application
|
|
|
|
You can also use Calf plugins as separate applications, connecting to other
|
|
applications using JACK Audio Connection Kit (version 0.103 or newer is
|
|
required). To run the client, type:
|
|
|
|
calfjackhost monosynth !
|
|
|
|
(! means "connect", last "!" means "connect to output")
|
|
|
|
Other examples:
|
|
|
|
calfjackhost monosynth ! vintagedelay ! flanger !
|
|
|
|
(runs monosynth into vintagedelay and vintagedelay into flanger, then to
|
|
output)
|
|
|
|
calfjackhost ! reverb !
|
|
|
|
(takes signal from system:capture_1 and _2, puts it through reverb, and then
|
|
sends to system:playback_1 and _2)
|
|
|
|
You can also change client name or input/output port names with command-line
|
|
options (type calfjackhost --help). Use qjackctl, patchage or jack_connect
|
|
to connect the Calf JACK client to your sound card or other applications, if
|
|
"!" is inadequate for any reason (if I didn't explain it properly, or if it
|
|
doesn't provide the connectivity options needed).
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind this project is in the early development phase. It is usable
|
|
for certain purposes, but drop me a note if you need something.
