Scanning for Plugins¶
Zrythm will scan for plugins on startup and will remember those plugins until it is closed. Zrythm supports both LV2 and VST plugins, although LV2 is the recommended standard.
Tipp
Plugin scanning can be disableld by passing NO_SCAN_PLUGINS=1 when running Zrythm.
LV2 Scan¶
Zrythm will scan for LV2 plugins in the standard paths
specified
here. You can bypass this behavior by passing the
LV2_PATH
environment variable to specify custom
paths. For example, LV2_PATH=~/custom-lv2-dir zrythm
.
VST Scan¶
On UNIX, Zrythm will scan for VST plugins in the following paths.
~/.vst
~/vst
/usr/local/lib/vst
/usr/lib/vst
You can bypass this behavior by passing the
VST_PATH
environment variable to specify custom
paths. For example, VST_PATH=~/custom-vst-dir zrythm
.
Bemerkung
lib
will be replaced with lib64
depending
on your system.
On Windows, Zrythm will scan for plugins in the paths specified in VST plug-in locations on Windows.
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins
C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2
Since scanning VST plugins takes a long time, Zrythm
will remember scanned VST plugins and save this
information in <<ZRYTHM PATH>>/cached_vst_descriptors.yaml
.
New plugins will be scanned on each start-up, and
you can delete or edit this file to force a re-scan of
previously scanned plugins.
