Moony - realtime Lua as programmable glue in LV2

[ventosus]

I'd like to announce a 2nd release candidate for Moony [1].

Moony let's you:
* write and/or prototype event filter plugins with Lua [2] scripting
* change code on-the-fly
* do arbitrary complex control port value conversions
* do arbitrary complex MIDI conversions
* respond to and/or create custom events based on the full spectrum of LV2 Atom types
* even do live coding

Moony is:
* an imporrtant part of a bigger project of a scriptable plugin host [3]
* but should be useful in many other hosts as a scriptable MIDI filter

Moony ships with a simple code editor as it's UI as:
* ui:showInterface/ui:idleInterface
* kx:external-ui
* X11UI (needs libelementary >= 1.13)

Tested with:
* jalv.gtkmm (1.4.6)
* Ardour (4.0)
* QTractor (Git), moony UI needs support for ui:portMap and won't show with Qtractor <= 0.6.7
* Ingen (SVN)
* Synthpod (Git)

Testers are welcome, please report issues/bugs at Github [4].

Looks interesting! I'm sure it will be useful in many types of setups.

Hello! Excuse my ignorance, but I really do not understand how to use it. I have installed it, and I can see the plugins (A1xA1, etc).
But how do I open the UI? Or, how do I write/change my own code? Do I have to launch some particular command? Edit some particular text file?

Thanks!
