Summary0000445: Be able to use plugins without inputs (synths)
DescriptionDon´t know wether it should be feature or bug, since I used to be able to use ladspa plugins that do not have inputs(for example, white noise) a few cvs versions before.
I´m quite a fan of these "ladspa synthesizers" and have made quite a few of sessions/projects which include wave sound files and plugins that generate sound.
Could you please make Ardour able to load this type of plugins? I know Ardour worked well with them before you started including that warning about the wasted signal.(Which I know is great for preventing crashes with some plugins.)
  
Additional InformationRight now to be able to load a ladspa synth, I have to remove all input ports so that the amount of the track inputs matches the amount of the plugin inputs. The result of this is no output at all from the ladspa synth.
Therefore, I´ve come to the conclussion that there must be the same amount of inputs in the tracks as the outputs in the ladspa synth. Please make Ardour bypass the check for this case or please tell me how to make these plugins work.
TagsNo tags attached.

this will be a post-1.0 feature. we now support various VST/i plugins, but the right way to support these is with an "instrument track". this is not hard to add, but it will not be pre-1.0.

you can also use VST/i plugins via jack_fst, which is a safer and more robust way to do it. there are very few LADSPA "synths" that are even worth implementing this feature for.

implemented in CVS as of about 11/17/2004. no MIDI input, obviously.
