Calf Studio gear

Build status

Calf Studio Gear is an audio plug-in pack for LV2 and JACK environments under LINUX operating systems. The suite contains lots of effects (delay, modulation, signal processing, filters, equalizers, dynamics, distortion and mastering effects), instruments (SF2 player, organ simulator and a monophonic synthesizer) and tools (analyzer, mono/stereo tools, crossovers). Calf Studio Gear aims for a professional audience.

Please visit the website below for further information, screenshots and installation instructions.

Usage

Once installed there are a couple of manuals available.

  • "man calf" displays some general instructions
  • "man calfjackhost" gives some hints on how to use the calf rack application
  • /usr/[local]/share/doc/calf (depending on your installation path) contains a HTML manual on how to use the plug-ins user interface
  • The plug-in manuals can also be accessed via the GUI menus.

Installation

In all cases, looking at .github/workflows/build.yml can give you a quick hint how it can be done on the systems which we test.

  • CMake: INSTALL
  • Automake: INSTALL-AUTOMAKE (deprecated!)
