This is the home of Odin 2 free VST3, AU and LV2 synthesizer plugin. This repository contains the code to build the project. If you just want to download the synth, get it from https://thewavewarden.com/odin2
Download JUCE 6.0.1. The project is currently build against JUCE 6.0.1. You can use newer JUCE versions, but the code will need some adjustments then. Open the file odin2/Odin.jucer
with the Projucer
application from the JUCE main directory. Now generate the build files by pressing Ctrl + P
inside the Projucer
. You can close Projucer
now.
Open the VS2019 solution odin2/Builds/VisualStudio2019/Odin2.sln
with VisualStudio2019
and compile the project.
Open the XCode project odin2/Builds/MacOSX/Odin2.xcodeproj
and compile it.
Open a terminal and navigate to odin2/Builds/LinuxMakefile
. Now compile the project with make
. You will most likely hit some errors because header files are not found. You need to find out which packages the header belongs to and install the required packages. For Ubuntu 18.04, the required packages can be installed with
sudo apt install libx11-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev mesa-common-dev libasound2-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev
VST2 is no longer licensed by Steinberg. You will need to find the VST2 SDK
on the internet yourself. Once you have it, open Odin.jucer
with the Projucer
again. Navigate to File -> Global Paths...
and under VST (Legacy) SDK
insert the path to the VST2_SDK
folder. Close the window and hit the gear-icon on the top left of the Projucer
interface. Under Plugin Formats
enable VST (Legacy)
. Press Ctrl + S
and build the project again as described above.
IMPORTANT: Steinbergs licencing prohibits you from distributing any VST2 plugins, unless you've been a registered developer with them since 2018.
First, you'll need the LV2 headers. On Ubuntu you can install them with
sudo apt install lv2-dev
You'll also need a custom set of JUCE modules from the LV2 Porting Project. Clone the JUCE fork and check out the lv2
branch, e.g.:
git clone -b lv2 https://github.com/lv2-porting-project/JUCE/ ~/JUCELV2
Now open Odin in your regular Projucer:
/path/to/juce/Projucer odin2/Odin.jucer
Navigate to File
->Global Paths
. In the Field JUCE Modules
enter, the modules from the repo you just cloned, e.g.:
~/JUCELV2/modules
Close the Dialog and generate the Project again with Ctrl + P
. Close the Projucer.
Add these lines to odin2/JuceLibraryCode/AppConfig.h
and make sure they are contained within the user code section:
// [BEGIN_USER_CODE_SECTION]
#define JucePlugin_Build_LV2 1
#define JucePlugin_LV2URI "https://www.thewavewarden.com/odin2"
#define JucePlugin_MaxNumOutputChannels 2
// [END_USER_CODE_SECTION]
The last step is to append a line to the generated Makefile with this command:
echo -e "include ../../LV2.mak" >> odin2/Builds/LinuxMakefile/Makefile
Now you can build the project again with make
as before. Note: Every time you export the project from the Projucer
, you'll have to append the line to the Makefile again.
