# 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.


## License

The original mda VST plug-ins by Paul Kellett are released under the
MIT license or under the GPL "either version 2 of the License, or (at
your option) any later version". The LV2 ports of the mdaPiano and
mdaEPiano plugins by rekado are released under GPLv3, or (at your
option) any later version.
