JALV.QT6(1)

📦 version 1.10.0, in arch rolling, fedora 44, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💅 JALV.QT6 — the manual page, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, you've stumbled into the manual for jalv.qt6, a General Commands Manual situation, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

jalv.qt6 — run an LV2 plugin with a Qt6 interface 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

jalv.qt6 plugin_uri

that's it. that's the whole thing. one argument, no notes. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so jalv.qt6 is a simple LV2 host that runs one single plugin. one. singular. it's a monogamous host, no cap. 🫶

this version comes with a Qt6 interface, and that interface shows you either generic controls or a custom plugin GUI — whichever the plugin is serving that day. it's giving ✨adaptive✨

jalv.qt6 takes one positional argument, and that argument can be any of these three icons:

  • a plugin URI 💖
  • a preset URI 💖
  • the path to a bundle or data file that describes one 💖

like, it's flexible, but not in a messy way. in a "we know what we're doing" way. 😌

real talk though: this version is mainly for testing, and it has no options and no plugin selector. it does one job and does it. if you want the fuller experience, the more complete graphical version is over at jalv.gtk3(1) — go say hi to her, she's iconic. 👑
