# mdaPiano

This is an LV2 port of the mdaPiano VSTi (not to be confused with the
[mdaEPiano](/lv2/mdaepiano.html)). The original VST that this port is based on
was written by Paul Kellett.


## Compiling

To compile the mda Piano plugin, just execute the following statement:

    make && sudo make install

This will copy the compiled plugin to `/usr/local/lib/lv2`.  To change
the target prefix, pass the `PREFIX` variable to `make`.

To build the mda EPiano plugin, pass `TYPE=mdaEPiano` to `make`:

    make TYPE=mdaEPiano
    sudo make install TYPE=mdaEPiano

**NOTE**: you will need the [lvtoolkit libraries](http://lvtoolkit.org) to
compile this plugin.


## Connecting

You will need an LV2 host to use the plugin. I'm using `jalv.gtk`:

    jalv.gtk http://elephly.net/lv2/mdaPiano

You should now be able to connect your MIDI device to the plugin via JACK. Also
don't forget to connect the plugin's stereo output to your system's outputs:

    jack_connect system:playback_1 mdaPiano:left
    jack_connect system:playback_2 mdaPiano:right

I provide a simple connect script with the code which does these things
automatically.

your option) any later version". The LV2 ports of the mdaPiano and
