I would like to have two versions of the Drumgizmo LV2 plugin installed at the same time. For example, 0.9.18 alongside 0.9.19. The reason is because the later version works better for one drum kit but worse for another. I'd like to be able to switch between them, depending on which kit I want to use. Is this possible... for example, by renaming one of them?
I did previously have two versions of an instrument or effect plugin installed - I can't remember which one - but in that case, the plugin existed as just a single .so file in a plugins folder... maybe VST. I just renamed one of the .so files and dropped it in that or another folder and Carla was able to find and use both.
In the case of Drumgizmo, it exists in its own folder in /usr/lib/lv2, which also contains a file called manifest.ttl, which contains some specific, computery instructions which I don't understand.
So I have the .deb files for each of the versions I want to use, which I have been using sudo apt install to install. However, because this is just a plugin and not a standalone piece of software - and because uninstalling one version and installing another doesn't require any changes to installed dependencies - I'm thinking it must be possible to use both. I could maybe install the earlier one, copy the .so file somewhere, then uninstall it and install the newer one, then rename the first and drop it somewhere.
Any thoughts?
