Loading plugins without a turtle?

[anymaw]

My plugins folder is just a bunch of VST2 DLLs. When I scan it, nothing happens, and the logs complain that the plugins have no manifest:

lilv_world_load_file(): error: Error loading file `file:///D:/mus/Music/Plugins/SoulForce-vst.dll/manifest.ttl'

Other hosts don't seem to complain about a missing manifest, so what gives? Is there a way to tell Giada to skip the manifest and just try detecting the plugin features by parsing the DLL?

Thanks

Hey @anymaw, VST2 are not supported anymore. You can change that by compiling Giada yourself with the right headers from the VST2.x SDK. More info here: https://giadamusic.com/documentation-compiling-from-source
