Dear linux-audio users,<br>
<br>
I am new here, and the world of pro-audio, too.<br>
I would like to run Kontakt on Linux.<br>
(Or, to be more specific, I would like to run Galaxy Pianos, which
is powered by Kontakt.)<br>
<br>
My prime candidate for the job is FST. Here is what I have:<br>
<br>
- My system is a 64-bit Debian stable/testing/unstable hybrid
installation.<br>
- I have a working Jack2 installation, and I can use native
applications without problems. (Midi keyboard, fluidsynth, etc.)<br>
- I have compiled and installed wine 1.3.34. (I created a 32-bit
installation.)<br>
- I have checked out, compiled and installed the GIT version of
Festige (including FST)<br>
<br>
If I run festige, and configure a directory containing the Kontakt
VST dll, festige finds them.<br>
<br>
When calling "info" on a plugin, I get this on the console:<br>
<br>
---------------------<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File
"/mnt/user_data/home/pianist/local/share/festige/src/w_festige.py",<br>
line 84, in run<br>
output = getoutput(self.next_command)<br>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/commands.py", line 50, in getoutput<br>
return getstatusoutput(cmd)[1]<br>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/commands.py", line 60, in getstatusoutput<br>
text = pipe.read()<br>
IOError: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call<br>
---------------------<br>
<br>
I checked and calling fstinfo.exe manually on the targeted DLL file<br>
gives meaningful result, but still, the info feature fails with the<br>
festige frontend.<br>
<br>
When I try to actually launch a plugin (with Jack already running),
I get this:<br>
<br>

---------------------<br>
<br>
I guess it is starting to jack manually. But why? It would be great
if<br>
it would be configurable; for example, for me, jack is already<br>
running, and is doing other things.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if I stop jack, and let festige/fst start it, I get this:<br>

<br>
Any idea why can't it connect to jack?<br>
(And what is the "unkown option character l" at the start?)<br>
<br>

<br>
I am running jack2 (v1.9.7).<br>
<br>
Can you help me fixing this?<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help:<br>
