Getting Plugins¶
Zrythm ships with a few bundled plugins to help you get started (currently only ZLFO), but you should install some plugins like synthesizers and effects before you can make music.
Fortunately, there are many plugins to choose from. This guide will show you a few ways you can install plugins.
If you are on Debian/Ubuntu, we highly recommend using the KXstudio repositories, since there are many plugins that can easily be installed via apt.
If you are on Arch GNU/Linux, we recommend installing the lv2-plugins group, or you can hand-pick the plugins you want from there.
If you are not sure where to start, please read on.
