Hi,
I'd like to announce that my LV2 port of the famous mda e-piano
plug-in is ready for download! [1]
When I was checking out the mda-lv2 ports, I noticed that the
instruments were not actually playable. I could not get them to work
in either lv2_jack_host or in Ardour2 or Ardour3.
So , here is the first and only (to my knowledge) native LV2 port of
the mda e-piano. There is no GUI yet, but once I figured out how to
add a GUI I'll be adding one.
I'd be very happy to receive comments and suggestions on the code.
My next target will be the mdaPiano plug-in---I might actually start
soon when the GUI stuff causes me too much of a headache...
Best,
Rekado

Hi Rekado!
I tried plugin and it sounds pretty good. It will be valuable addition
to LV2 synths when it's finished.
I looked at the code a bit. Maybe you already solved this, but you had a
typo in mdaEPianoGUI.cpp file. It caused a runtime error so GUI couldn't
be instantiated. You wrote the first line in class definition like:
class mdaEPianoGUI : public LV2::GUI<mdaEPianoGUI, LV2::URIMap<true>,
LV2::WriteMIDI<false> >{
but it sould be:
class mdaEPianoGUI : public LV2::GUI<mdaEPianoGUI>, LV2::URIMap<true>,
LV2::WriteMIDI<false> {
After changing that GUI is shown, but compiler reports that write_midi()
function is not in the scope (didn't solve that problem - I just
commented it out :)).
Cheers!

Hi Igor,
thanks for testing.
About the GUI: I think you might be mistaken. Even though I'm new to
template stuff in C++, my syntax seems to be correct. The GUI appears
when I open the plug-in in zynjacku (lv2_jack_host does not care about
GUIs).
What runtime error did you encounter and what host did you use?
The GUI by the way is nothing more but a construction site. It is not
usable at all, no functions implemented. It is more of a
proof-of-concept (yes, GUI appears) than anything else. I'm working on
this right now, but I'm all new to this.

My bad then :)
I tried it in Ingen. With your code, when I double click plugin (to show
GUI) it reports "Failed to instantiate Plugin UI" and Ingen GUI freezes
(although, engine still runs in background).
I'm pretty new to templating too and, even though your code made some
sense, I was comparing it to another very simple example of LV2 GUI code
(just a button too but without MIDI support), and only difference in
code (and in crashing Ingen :)) was that line.

FWIW, Some distros are jacking with the search path.
Especially Debian... where it's 'site-packages' for <=2.5
and 'dist-packages' for >=2.6.[1]
In past headaches with this... the two folders will NOT mix.

It is actually a dependency of the new lv2config tool.
I suppose this should be mentioned here as well as lv2-dev now that it's
nearly finalized and this list gets much more traffic:
***
If you are a host or plugin author intending to use any modern LV2
extensions (from lv2plug.in, at least), you will probably need/want to
use the lv2config tool. Please provide your feedback now, before it is
too late
***
lv2config is intended to be a widely deployed, available-by-default tool
for any systems with LV2 (i.e. the lv2core bundle/package), and a build
time (and/or extension install time) dependency. It allows projects to
compile against system-installed LV2 extensions (which was previously
impossible in general), or those included locally with source trees,
without having any namespace specific (e.g. distro specific like
pkgconfig names) identifiers in the code (#include paths are URI based)
This means extension headers are widely useful without needing to be
munged for each project, e.g.:
* LV2 code can be easily copy/pasted without munging
* Perhaps most importantly, extension headers can #include other
extension headers
Note the build-time dependency can optionally be avoided by
pre-generating an include tree (in which case you should probably
include the extensions with your code). The includes are URI based to
achieve this.
Rationale, and more information, is available here:
http://lv2plug.in/docs/index.php?title=Implementing_Extensions_in_Hosts
(Feel free to edit the wiki page with TODO type edits and questions)
Feedback on this from any developers would be very much appreciated, it
has not seen enough eyes yet, but I would like it to become a part of
the upcoming LV2r4 spec so distributions can include it and everyone can
depend on it being installed, and everyone can use a standard way to
check for, and build against/use, installed LV2 extensions.
All lv2plug.in extension stuff, including lv2config, is now available in
SVN at http://lv2plug.in/repo/trunk/

I am working on this no longer being the case (recently I started using
an external repository for the build stuff (autowaf) to avoid having
symlinks to parent directories).
The new LV2 build stuff still probably won't work except from top level,
though. I willl solve this soon. On that note, dev and/or user

would be useful (see LV2 dev mailing list: http://lists.lv2plug.in/)

You probably need to nuke the lv2 subdirectory and re-checkout.
Unfortunatley, svn can't deal with changing a subdirectory to an
external :/
See http://drobilla.net/blog/2010/10/19/svn-changes/ (LAD related posts

With a fresh checkout, it should. For python you need /either/ rdflib
(pure python) or the librdf redland bindings. It should fail gracefully
now in any case.
