hi  
in my ubuntu studio setup from the kxstudios repo there are a number of amazing vst plugins from the cabbage system. are these aggregated anywhere else for use perhaps in Bitwig Macintosh? i have been exploring bitwig this past month and i love it especially with cabbage plugins so i am hopeful there migh be a location for them elsewhere

cheers~

Patrick

All those plugins are free and open source. In order to use them on OSX you only need to open Cabbage, open the .csd file and export. Granted, it’s a bit of work if you want to export all the examples in one go…but that’s what’s nice about CabbageLite, you can pass command line parameters to it for exporting. So it would be trivial to write a script that would automatically export plugins for ALL the example files.

Hey Rory  
I am back using Ubuntu and would like to use the Cabbage plugins inside Ardour and perhaps Bitwig for showing my students an alternative production environment. Is there a way to export them all to one place?

Hi @shreeswifty, it’s been a while! There is a command line exporter that you can use to batch export plugins. I’ve not really tested it on Linux though. I posted a simple python script [here](https://forum-next.cabbageaudio.com/t/batch-convert-on-mac/3777/9) that might help. Your mileage may vary!
