Hi Zynthian lovers!
I was looking for a way to easily add new patches (created with my desktop pc) to these plugins in Zynthian, without having to use VNC, and being able to give a custom name to each param, while grouping and sorting the params the way I wanted.
Since this is not possible with standard presets, I developer two plugin wrappers, written in C++, for Cardinal and Vitalium (Vital clone). They are both already installed in Vangelis OS.
These wrappers let you load a patch, give it a name (for the plugin wrapper), customize each parameter’s name, type (int, float, enum, bool, …), range, default value, and group them with custom group names. Then you can export a zip containing the preset folder and the lv2 plugin folder (you need to compile it on zynthian with a c++ compiler).
The main page contains basic instructions to install the c++ compilers and libraries on Zynthian. Each wrapper creator contains its own instructions, but they are (hopefully) quite straightforward to use.
I hope you’ll find them useful, as I do. Feel free to ask questions, report bugs, or suggest improvements and new features.
Cheers!
