Hi there, I wonder if it’s possible to use LADSPA plugins on an Organelle and if yes, how. Has anyone tried this? Thanks ---

I would really like to use these in my patches. Can you please tell us how to install them and include them in the Organelle patches? Thank you! ---

In the same boat. Recently purchased an organelle and I am not sure how to install ladspa. Do I just copy the ladspa folder to my usb and then plug that back into organelle? ---

its meeee again 😬 I copied the whole "install ladspa " folder Ran the patch And rebooted organelle Should I now see a folder of the ladspa plugins ? All I can see is the install ladspa folder and selecting that simply repeats the rebooting process. Side note I copied a little Rhodes patch from this site as well and that works nicely. ---

hi no again it’s just a library that give you certain effects when needed. lets try something fun Install this Patch > **[Exaggerator.zip](https://www.dropbox.com/s/p57ucbx8d4jk8of/Exaggerator.zip?dl=0)** > > Shared with Dropbox put it inside Patches. Don;t worry about what is inside the folder 🙂 . Just put it in patches. Reload your patches or reboot the organelle then Attach some sort of input to the organelle. Something like a guitar or whatever you like really. Run the patch. play with the knob. Report back when you have time ---

To be sure when you put the “install Ladspa” folder on your organelle you have to run the patch once, that runs the install script with all the file. Then you reboot once. Then you can run the Exaggerator for a test as detailed in previous posts ---

Exaggerator installed and working lovely. ![IMG_0303](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/critterandguitari/original/1X/133e200f7c15439e58a58f7b6f956bc23d9073eb.JPG) ![IMG_0302](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/critterandguitari/original/1X/905fc6943bf53d2702d8a695e2060044713d4a1a.JPG) ---

So the thing is: should I be able to see a folder of ladspa library of effects so I can load one like I can with exaggerator? ---

nope! the ladspa install patch just sticks some new tools in your organelle should any patch ask for them, like say, the exaggerator patch which relies upon some extra ‘externals’ (tools) in order to work properly. now you’ve installed LADSPA you can delete the install patch - the result of the install will remain and you can keep using ‘exaggerator’ and other LADSPA patches. someone back me up on this ive had a couple beers and could be talking out my butt… [Next page](https://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/using-ladspa-plugins/443.md?page=2)
