| - | ===== Install ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Install Jalv from [[http://slackbuilds.org]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Usage ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Jalv, which you will most likely use as the ''jalv.gtk'' command, is a Jack host for LV2 plugins. It has no GUI of its own and is started from a terminal; unlike [[jackrack|Jack Rack]] or the [[calf|Calf]] rack, it is not a "rack" so much as it is a launcher that you point to an LV2 bundle that you want to load. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To see a list of valid LV2 plugins on your system, use the ''lv2ls'' command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | $ lv2ls | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | The ''lv2ls'' command lists a series of URI's. Don't be confused, this is //not// a listing of internet sites or locations, these are interpretations of the LV2 plugins available on your local filesystem. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To launch a plugin, use the ''jalv.gtk'' command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | jalv.gtk http://invadarecords.com/plugins/lv2/erreverb/sum & | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Issue a similar command for each plugin you want to load. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP alert> | ||
| - | If you use just ''jalv'' rather than ''jalv.gtk'', then the plugin will load, but you will not see a GUI. If you are an advanced user developing programmatic art, this might be great, but for most people, this is not the intended result.\\ | ||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | Make sure you use ''jalv.gtk''! | ||

| - | ===== Sessions ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | There is not necessarily a way to save a session file when launching plugins with ''jalv'' (it depends on the design of the plugin) so for some plugins, it's best to leave them as plugins. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Otherwise, save session files in a directory associated with your project, and remember to load them back in when resuming work on your project later. Session management can be done by good organisation (with [[planter|Planter]], for instance) or with a dedicated session manager (such as [[non|Non]]). | ||
