Calvo is a jalv based LV2 plugin browser and host to stack plugins in a rack fashion.
- Runs entirely on the terminal.
- Suports launching multiple instances of jalv and eventually calvo.
- Category based plugin browser.
- Autoconnect inputs of system, and every plugin, linearly until reaching configured output. Dealing with mono/stereo conversion along the way.
- Basic parameters controls.
- Basic plugin output controls monitoring.
- Load plugin presets.
- Move plugins order.
- Alpha
- No GUI customization is loaded, any plugin which has a UI based workflow won't work properly.
- Only works with mono or stereo inputs/outputs.
- Monitoring is best effort and should not be taken too seriously.
Roadmap to 1.0: Milestone
It uses:
- jalv to host plugins
- lilv to get plugin data
- JACK and jack-client
- blessed for the UI.
- nodejs to glue all together
For arch linux: sudo pacman -S python-jack-client lilv jalv
Modify .config.yaml with your settings, more info in the docs.

Still need to figure out a way to distribute this. For the time being it can be build from source. Make sure to have the dependencies installed first.
