## Which LV2 Plugins does PiPedal support?
PiPedal will automatically detect installed LV2 plugins and make them selectable from the web app interface, as long as they meet the
following conditions:
- Must have mono or stereo audio inputs and outputs.
- Must not be a MIDI instrument or have CV (Control Voltage) inputs or outputs.
- Must be remotely controllable (no hard dependency on GUI-only controls), which is true of all but a tiny minority of LV2 plugins.
If you install a new LV2 plugin, PiPedal will detect the change and make it available immediately. Wait a few seconds, and the newly-installed plugin should show up in the list of available plugins.
PiPedal does not currently allow plugins to provide custom user interfaces; it displays controls that are declared by the LV2 plugin without customization. In practice, this means that LV2 plugins with simple sets of controls work well, but those with complex sets of controls can be difficult to use. However, we would be pleased to collaborate with developers who need more than the basic set of controls. This is a feature set that Pipedal needs to address, so we would be happy to collaborate with other developers on this. Please contact rerdavies at gmail.com for further details.
