The Calf plugins include all todays frequently used studio effects along with some feature-rich sound processors.

Calf Studiogear is designed to run under the most flexible plugin standard in Linux, namely LV2. So you're able to insert them in lots of plugin-capable audio software like Ardour, Rosegarden and others.

The Calf Rack offers you all Calf effects and synthesizers in an easy-to-use studio rack. Wire the effects through Jack to build your own studio environment and trigger the sound processors live or through a MIDI sequencer or tracker.

Calf Rack supports LADISH level 1.

IR is a zero-latency, realtime, high performance signal convolver especially for creating reverb effects. Supports impulse responses with 1, 2 or 4 channels, in any soundfile format supported by libsndfile.

IR files can be for example here:

For converting 2ch impupuses to 4ch True stereo format use 'convert4chan' utility. See man pages.

These are some tools and libraries that may come in handy when writing LV2 plugins in C++.

The following static libraries are provided:

  • liblv2-plugin is a C++ library that you can use to write LV2 plugins by inheriting from a plugin base class and overriding a small number of functions.
  • liblv2-gui is a C++ library that you can use to write LV2 plugin GUIs.

This package also contains the binaries lv2peg and lv2soname:

  • lv2peg is a program that generates C header files from Turtle files containing LV2 plugin data.
  • lv2soname is a program that generate the RDF triples needed to tell hosts that the library with that soname must never be unloaded even after your plugin GUI library has been unloaded.

This package provides runtime objects and development files.

Each section has an active/bypass switch, frequency, bandwidth and gain controls. There is also a global bypass switch and gain control. All switches and controls are internally smoothed, so they can be used 'live' whithout any clicks or zipper noises. This should make this plugin a good candidate for use in systems that allow automation of plugin control ports, such as Ardour, or for stage use.

Perhaps you don't know what a vocoder is, but I'm sure you have heard one before. Vocoders are often used to add a robotic effect to vocals in music. Happy robots use Linux and LV2!

This vocoder plugin has 2 AUDIO inputs and 1 OUTPUT. The first INPUT is the "Formant" signal which is usually someone's voice. The second INPUT is the "Carrier" signal which is some sort of continuous synth sound. The "Carrier" signal is modulated to the "Formant".

There are a number of controls ports. The first one is the "Number of bands" which is how many frequency bands to use (current maximum is 16). The rest of the controls set the level of each individual band and should have a value between 0.0 and 1.0. The lower numbered bands are lower in frequency the higher numbered bands are higher in frequency.
