An interesting move for a commercial company, Vast Dynamics. They have just made their first release after open sourcing. Seems to support Raspbian/lv2. GitHub

Just saw this pop up on my socials an hour ago.!

It won’t build on Zynthian (stable / testing) due to dependencies being too new. Looking forwared to 64-bit bookworm that may fix this.

This synth looks amazing! We want it in zynthian, of course!
It probably uses LV2 properties, so we need to implement this ASAP if we want this and other recent LV2 plugins working OK.

Hi all,

Vaporizer 2 is available in AARCH64 lv2 version :slight_smile:

It is working great, uses very little CPU load… but I only have the init preset available…
I am downloading the presets now:

Looks great!! And the specs suggest it’s great :upside_down_face: :smiley:

Cheers,
Maarten

Hi @piattica ,

But, I do not know what you already know…

So first, global explanation (what I did):

  1. Put the download .lv2 directory in /usr/lib/lv2/.
  2. On the webconfiguration page select ‘SOFTWARE’ (pull down menu) → ‘Engines’ → ‘Search for Engines’ (button). (now the synth is detected by the zynthian)
  3. Select ‘MIDI Instrument tab’ and activate the selction at ‘Vaporizer 2’. (With CTRL+F you can search for this on the page)
  4. Insert chain with the Vaporizer synth (It creates some directories at first start-up)
  5. Remove the chain
  6. Put the downloaded and extracted preset directories in ‘/root/Documents/Vaporizer2/Presets’
  7. Put the downloaded and extracted directories containing .wav files in ‘/root/Documents/Vaporizer2/Tables’
  8. Start Vaporizer and the synth and presets are accessible via: ‘http://zynthian.local:6081/vnc.html?autoconnect=true&password=opensynth’
  9. Unfortunately the presets are not registered by the zynthian itself, so not accessible via the Zynthian UI.

I assumed you know how to sftp the files to the zynthian. I use FileZilla… great for this.

Cheers,
Maarten

Hi…

I downloaded the debian 12 version:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/proaudio/Debian_12/arm64/vaporizer2-lv2_3.5.0+git.11.1c56c4b-1_arm64.deb

Ow… I decompressed it and copied the lv2 directory…

I think you also can install it via:
apt-get install ./vaporizer2-lv2_3.5.0+git.11.1c56c4b-1_arm64.deb

Cheers,
Maarten

It is a pity about preset accessible only by VNC: who can help us to do it?

Hi @piattica

When you save the current sound in Vaporizer as preset in the zynthian UI you can access these presets from the zynthian UI :slight_smile:
So editting and modifying in http://zynthian.local:6081/vnc.html?autoconnect=true&password=opensynth

And saving the preset in: http://zynthian.local:6080/vnc.html?autoconnect=true&password=opensynth

Cheers,
Maarten

thank you teacher!
does your procedure work in general with all lv2s?

@piattica

Not sure what you mean…

Saving presets of the current state of the syth in the zynthian UI and recalling it in the zynthian UI, works for me with all the synths… try it :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Maarten

There may be different options. The native gui may offer an option to save in its proprietary format. Jalv (the LV2 host that zynthian uses) has is own menu with preset management that integrates with zynthian (LV2) presets.
