JALV.QT5(1)

💖 JALV.QT5 — bestie edition 💖

okay so. this is the jalv.qt5 manual page, from the General Commands Manual section 1, and it's literally the cutest little LV2 host you ever met. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

jalv.qt5 — run an LV2 plugin with a Qt5 interface 🌸

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

jalv.qt5 plugin_state

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so jalv.qt5 is a simple LV2 host that runs a single plugin. that's it. one plugin. main character energy, no sharing the spotlight 👑

this version comes with a Qt5 interface, and that interface shows you either generic controls or a custom plugin GUI — depends on the plugin, not on you bestie 💖

jalv.qt5 takes exactly one positional argument. and that argument can be any of these three things:

• a plugin URI
• a preset URI
• the path to a bundle or data file that describes one of those 👀

heads up fr fr: this version is mainly for testing and it has no options and no plugin selector. that's not me being dramatic, that's just what it is 😭

if you want a more complete graphical version, go look at jalv.gtk3(1) instead. she's got more going on 💅✨
