Bare-bones implementation of Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) models in an LV2 plugin.

There is no user interface. Setting the model to use requires that your LV2 host supports atom:Path parameters. Reaper does not. Carla and Ardour do. If your favorite LV2 host does not support atom:Path, let them know you want it. A Reaper feature request for this is here.

To get the intended behavior, you must run your audio host at the same sample rate the model was trained at (usually 48kHz) - no resampling is done by the plugin.

For amp-only models (the most typical), you will need to run an impulse reponse after this plugin to model the cabinet.

First clone the repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules -j4 https://github.com/mikeoliphant/neural-amp-modeler-lv2
cd neural-amp-modeler-lv2/build

Then compile the plugin using:

Linux/MacOS

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release"
make -j4

Windows

cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 ..
cmake --build . --config=release -j4

Note - you'll have to change the Visual Studio version if you are using a different one.

After building, the plugin will be in build/neural_amp_modeler.lv2.
