Lmms and lv2 plugins

[Gps]

Alsa is prob the best one, and should work out of the box.
Pulseaudio should work too.

Jack might be better but its not that simple to use.

But i dont get it at all.... What sould i do now ? i wanna play on fabla with my keyboard and record this on lmms, what i need to do now ?

Carla does not have any connection to JACK. Carla is a plugin host. To get carla inside your LMMS installation, you need to compile carla from source, or get the 'carla-git' package from the KXStudio repos. Also, when you compile carla, you also need to compile LMMS from source, since the default packages in distros don't come with carla support AFAIK. Compiling is pretty straightforward, here are some instructions: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling-lmms

Yea okay no problem, i will compile carla, fabla and lmms from sources and what next ? when i will can enable carla in lmms then ?

After you installed all three, you can in lmms select carla.

Okay i'll try then, but tell me one thing, after i do all things good and i'll have carla and fabla in my lmms i'll be able to play with my pc keyboard on fabla ? i'll be able for set choosen keyboard key to choosen sample in fabla ?

once you successfully compile carla-git (and I guess re-compile lmms), then Carla-patchbay and Carla-rack will show up in the Instrument plugins (see here https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Wo ... nstruments). You can drag and drop Carla-rack into the Song editor. After that, you can use Carla-rack to load .lv2 plugins (like Fabla, or drumkv1, assuming that you have these installed properly). Within the Carla-rack instrument window, click "Show GUI". This brings up another interface: the most important is "+Add Plugins". Then Click "Refresh", ensuring that the "Special Filters" section has 'instruments' and 'lv2' check-marked. You should now be able to select Fabla or other lv2 plugins.

To answer your question, yes, theorectically Fabla (in carla) should allow you to load individual samples, mapped to particular keyboard keys, and controlled via midi in the LMMS song editor/piano roll. I personally could not get fabla to load samples and could only use its presets. An alternative to fabla is "drumkv1". It is likewise a lv2 plugin, to be used through carla, and I was able to get it to load individual samples, map to particular keys, and controlled by lmms midi signals.

Okay... I compile carla from sources from here -> https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/ and i compile lmms from sources from here ->https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki and i "make install" both of them to /usr/local, but i still dont see carla in my lmms ;c This is the picture -> http://postimg.org/image/4iaqf8r4t/
So i please for next advices.

I do not use carla myself, but as far as I understand things, this is were you should be able to select Carla.

Click on the down arrow. There you can select, Alsa, Jack (if installed) Carla (if installed) and a few others.

Then as farawayinspace says you should see the plugin. ( you will have to restart lmms )

About the compiling of lmms.
After you compiled, did the comand line say, carla is available ?
There is a section about audio.
Alsa -
jack -
sdl -
carla -

After these audio setting it says if its available or not.

[umcaruje]

No Gps, no. Carla is a plugin, not an audio backend.

@_user, can you post a gist of the cmake information when you compile LMMS? It seems as carla isn't included in your path and that you'll have to add it manually.
