RTLADSPA
From JavierValcarce.Es
RTLADSPA is a small utility that executes LADSPA plugins in real-time using your computer's sound card, microphone and speaker/headphones.
It uses PortAudio v19 library to have access to the sound system of your computer. Main features:
- Runs in a terminal, no fancy graphical interface
- Runs LADPSA plugins in real-time. It lets you to adjust audio input/output buffer size to control the amount of latency. You can decrease it to the minimum that can be achieved by your sound card.
- Let you to specify input control parameters to the plugin (I-CTL ports)
Usage
Plug your microphone and speaker into computer's sound card, adjust rec and play volume levels, open a command-line window and run the program. Command-line syntax is:
rtladspa --module your_plugin.dll --parameters param1 param2 param3 ...
The last parameters (floating point data) are for the plugin and their meaning depends on the concrete plugin you are using. For example:
To show help:
Check some plugins for Windows at Plugins LADSPA.
During the plugin execution, if you see the message "Input buffer overflow!" this means that your plugin is not running in real-time, try to increase the size of buffers/latency (or buy a faster computer!).
Requirements
- Windows 2K/XP/Vista (Linux version is comming...)
- Full-duplex sound card with drivers WMME (any sound card have a driver of this type). ASIO drivers is a plus, it offers the minimum latency and it's the one I recomend. With ASIO you can achieve a latency as low as 5 ms whereas with WWME don't expect less than 200 ms
- Microphone and speaker/headphones
If Windows complains about msvcrt80.dll library then install vcredist_x86.exe (2K/XP) or XP ServicePack 2.
