Calvo 🧑🏼‍🦲

Calvo is a jalv based LV2 plugin browser and host to stack plugins in a rack fashion.

calvo connections

Features

  • Runs entirely on the terminal.
  • Suports launching multiple instances of jalv and eventually calvo.
  • Category based plugin browser.
  • Autoconnect inputs of system, and every plugin, linearly until reaching configured output. Dealing with mono/stereo conversion along the way.
  • Basic parameters controls.
  • Basic plugin output controls monitoring.
  • Load plugin presets.
  • Move plugins order.
  • Alpha

Limitations

  • No GUI customization is loaded, any plugin which has a UI based workflow won't work properly.
  • Only works with mono or stereo inputs/outputs.
  • Monitoring is best effort and should not be taken too seriously.

Roadmap to 1.0: Milestone

Dependencies

It uses:

  • jalv to host plugins
  • lilv to get plugin data
  • JACK and jack-client
  • blessed for the UI.
  • nodejs to glue all together

For arch linux: sudo pacman -S python-jack-client lilv jalv

Settings

Modify .config.yaml with your settings, more info in the docs.
