How to understand LMMS's internal plugins nature?

[ghost]

I am very curious about music plugin's standarts, such as VST, LADSPA, LV2 and others. But how to understand LMMS internal plugins, such as audio_file_processor. Is it LADSPA or something else type of plugin? Can I use it somethere outside of LMMS, for example in Ardour? Same about other plugins, such as bit_invader

These plugins are native to LMMS and use a built-in plugin format that is tied very closely to LMMS. They cannot be used elsewhere.

I'm closing this, as questions aren't what our Github issues are for. Feel free to ask questions like this in #techtalk on discord.

As @SecondFlight mentions, the plugins won't work elsewhere. To make your own, the internal working are best described here: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Plugin-development

That said, several years ago, @pgiblock ported some of the native LMMS instruments to LV2 format, which can theoretically be used elsewhere. https://github.com/pgiblock/lmms-lv2

Good sources to start:

• Plugin.h is now well documented
• Amplifier is the most simple effect plugin
• The Lv2 PR documents support for plugin collections
