You are talking about Drops, I presume? It says how to install it on the project page:
just copy the binaries to an appropriate location.
Typically, for lv2 that would be ~/.lv2 or /usr/lib/lv2 and for vst typically ~/.vst or /usr/lib/vst on linux.
Download the drops_binaries.zip file, extract it and copy either the lv2 or vst version to the relevant folder, then run plugin scan.
I just tried it with the lv2 version copied to ~/.lv2 and Carla found it after scanning for new plugins. Simple! :wink:

I love how @Fatima offered to pay for help and instead a whole crowd of people are loading this topic with free advice. That's how this forum rolls. 8)

Btw, I you are looking for a sampler that loops, try Ninjas2.
It has onset detection which helps with finding beats, notes etc.

Again, download the zip from the releases and copy the lv2 or vst files to the appropriate directories.

sudo apt install drumkv1
sudo apt install samplv1

My Linux says that they are already installed, but then I cannot find them in Qtractor, I tried in LADSPA, DSSI, VST and LV2
Maybe they appear with another name?
Hi @Fatima,

you have installed the standalone, to have them as plugins you should install the lv2 package, like this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install drumkv1-lv2
sudo apt install samplv1-lv2

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

They should appear under the LV2 plugins.
Maybe you need to update the paths in Qtractor to find all LV2 plugins.
Check /usr/lib/lv2 and /usr/local/lib/lv2 to find directory drumkv1.lv2.
You could also check /root/.lv2 where /root is your home/user folder (I'm running always as root).
Make sure the above paths are setup in Qtractor to search for LV2 plugins.

yes

samplv1-lv2 and drumkv1-lv2 stands for the LV2 plugins alright!

while samplv1-jack and drumkv1-jack are the ones you may now reckon for pure JACK standalone's, which are indeed equivalent to the .AppImage's ...

for the record: package names like just "samplv1" or "drumkv1", and "samplv1-common" or "drumkv1-common", are dead horses--get rid of them as soon as you possible can...

cheers

Hey @sunrat that worked perfectly, I put Drops in /usr/lib/lv then reloaded Qtractor and Voila! Drops is there.
