Hi

I wrote a new LV2 mini host,

Why?

The LV2 ecosystem has many excellent hosts — from full DAWs to modular environments.
However, in most of them the LV2 hosting logic is deeply embedded inside large and complex code-bases.

Luma keeps the core hosting logic simple and visible, making it easy to read and understand how LV2 hosting actually works, strongly separated from any widget toolkit or audio/midi engine in use.

What it supports

• Multi-instance LV2 plugin hosting
• LV2 plugins with X11 / GTK2 UIs
• Preset load and save
• LV2 state store and restore
• Shared worker thread
• Shared UI thread
• Terminal NO-GUI mode
• Debug build with DummyEngine

Typical uses

• learning how LV2 hosting works
• debugging LV2 plugins
• testing LV2 extensions
• running plugins headless
• building your own experimental LV2 hosts
