I'm not understanding fully. Is this Zynaddsubfx lv2 plugin completely done by you without `zyn`? I'm asking because I can't seem to get this going at all on my arch box. Carla isn't either. It's shows the GUI but when trying to add plugins it does not respond. Neither does `configure carla`. So Carla is no go here but I'd at least like to use your lv2 Zynaddsubfx through Ardour 3.

PyQt has released a patch to fix this, but there's no official new release with the fix out yet.
Until ArchLinux imports that patch or PyQt gets a new version Carla will remain broken in Arch. :(
Here's some discussion about the PyQt bug http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/piper ... 34399.html

Debian (sid) has updated PyQt packages with the patch-fix.

This zyn as lv2 project discussed in this topic is about Carla internal plugins being exposed as LV2.
Since Carla has a bundled zynaddsubfx, it gets exported as LV2 together with a few other minor plugins.
Oh.... so if I have let's Zynaddsubfx-git installed there's no way I can use it as LV2 unless I have your Carla host?

I had plans to strip the carla code and make it "standalone", single zyn as lv2 plugin. But I changed my mind when I saw a new UI proposal for zyn:

I'll probably create some new code to draw the UI like that, or at least I'll try.
(for a LV2/VST plugin)
Ok. I'll have to wait then.

Actually it doesn't matter. I as long as Carla is installed I can use Zynaddsubfx inside Ardour 3. Thanks falkTX

Wow ! Honestly that sounds quite amazing and almost unbelievable that you could turn that into an actual Zyn plugin :shock:
There is this other thread about Carla and LMMS, and now that. It makes me dizzy :mrgreen:
I really hope you can get more monthly donators or find a way to get more donations because your are doing such an amazing work, and as those teasing thread show you probably will continue to amaze and surprise us with more awesome stuffs like this :D
Just as a reminder for anyone reading this thread, if you want the magic to keep happening, that is just one click away : http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Donations 8)

How about having a fixed number of possible parameters, say 10.
Then, by, say, middle clicking on a knob in zyn would pop you up with a short list of these and you could assign that knob to that parameter.

That would make it possible to control everything, but not being overwhelming at the same time.

What do you think?
I think this (just select within the plugin the params you want exposed to the DAW) would really be the best implementation. I've been holding my breath so long I guess I'm amphibian now :oops:

@xaccrocheur, that's the direction that things are heading in. Quoting myself from the issue tracker:
This MIDI CC based workflow has received criticism in the past and there are plans to move to[ward] more traditional VST [and LV2] parameters in the near-term. This is documented in https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusi ... /issues/20 and https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusi ... /issues/77 . The latter issue's direction has been summarized in a proposal at http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/prop ... -plan.html . As the proposal is a work-in-progress any feedback is appreciated.
