Odin 2 Synthesizer

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

Build Instructions

All Platforms

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.

Windows (Visual Studio 2019)

Open the VS2019 solution odin2/Builds/VisualStudio2019/Odin2.sln with VisualStudio2019 and compile the project.

MacOS X (XCode)

Open the XCode project odin2/Builds/MacOSX/Odin2.xcodeproj and compile it.

Linux (Makefile)

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

Compiling as VST2 Plugin (All Platforms)

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.

Compiling as LV2 Plugin (Linux)

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.
