# Voicemeeter Compact
|
|
|
|
A compact Voicemeeter remote app, works locally and over LAN.
|
|
|
|
For an outline of past/future changes refer to: [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Voicemeeter](https://voicemeeter.com/) (Basic v1.0.8.2), (Banana v2.0.6.2) or (Potato v3.0.2.2)
|
|
- Python 3.11+
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
For a step-by-step guide [click here](INSTALLATION.md)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install voicemeeter-compact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Example `__main__.py` file:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import voicemeeterlib
|
|
import vmcompact
|
|
|
|
|
|
def main():
|
|
# pass the kind_id and the vmr object to the app
|
|
with voicemeeterlib.api(kind_id) as vmr:
|
|
app = vmcompact.connect(kind_id, vmr)
|
|
app.mainloop()
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
# choose the kind of Voicemeeter (Local connection)
|
|
kind_id = "banana"
|
|
|
|
main()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's important to know that only labelled strips and buses will appear in the Channel frames. Removing a Channels label will cause the GUI to grow/shrink in real time.
|
|
|
|
![Image of unlabelled app](./doc_imgs/nolabels.png)
|
|
|
|
If the GUI looks like the above when you first load it, then no channels are labelled. From the menu, `Profiles->Load Profile` you may load an example config. Save your current Voicemeeter settings first :).
|
|
|
|
### kind_id
|
|
|
|
A _kind_id_ specifies a major Voicemeeter version. This may be one of:
|
|
|
|
- `basic`
|
|
- `banana`
|
|
- `potato`
|
|
|
|
## TOML Files
|
|
|
|
This is how your files should be organised. Wherever your `__main__.py` file is located (after install this can be any location), `configs` should be in the same location.
|
|
Directly inside of configs directory you may place an app.toml, vban.toml and a directory for each kind.
|
|
Inside each kind directory you may place as many custom toml configurations as you wish.

## Configs
|
|
|
|
### app.toml
|
|
|
|
Configure certain startup states for the app.
|
|
|
|
- `profiles`
|
|
Configure a profile to load on app startup. Don't include the .toml extension in the profile name.
|
|
|
|
- `theme`
|
|
By default the app loads up the [Sun Valley light or dark theme](https://github.com/rdbende/Sun-Valley-ttk-theme) by @rdbende. You have the option to load up the app without any theme loaded. Simply set `enabled` to false and `mode` will take no effect.
|
|
|
|
- `extends`
|
|
Extending the app will show both strips and buses. In reduced mode only one or the other. This app will extend both horizontally and vertically, simply set `extends_horizontal` true or false accordingly.
|
|
|
|
- `channel`
|
|
For each channel labelframe the width and height may be adjusted which effects the spacing between widgets and the length of the scales and progressbars respectively.
|
|
|
|
- `mwscroll_step`
|
|
Sets the amount (in db) the gain slider moves with a single mousewheel step. Default 3.
|
|
|
|
- `submixes`
|
|
Select the default submix bus when Submix frame is shown. For example, a dedicated bus for OBS.
|
|
|
|
### vban.toml
|
|
|
|
Configure as many vban connections as you wish. This allows the app to work over a LAN connection as well as with a local Voicemeeter installation.
|
|
|
|
For vban connections to work correctly VBAN TEXT incoming stream MUST be configured correctly on the remote machine. Both pcs ought to be connected to a local private network and should be able to ping one another.
|
|
|
|
A valid `vban.toml` might look like this:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[connection-1]
|
|
kind = 'banana'
|
|
ip = '192.168.1.2'
|
|
streamname = 'worklaptop'
|
|
port = 6980
|
|
|
|
[connection-2]
|
|
kind = 'potato'
|
|
ip = '192.168.1.3'
|
|
streamname = 'streampc'
|
|
port = 6990
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Profiles
|
|
|
|
Three example profiles are included with the package, one for each kind of Voicemeeter. Use these to configure parameter startup states. Any parameter supported by the underlying interfaces may be used. For a detailed description of parameter coverage see:

|
|
|
|
Profiles may be loaded at any time via the menu.
