Nigel,
I don't know the status of dssi-vst, but it sticks in my mind (and
this was quite some time ago) that it didn't handle GUIs at all. It
only worked with VSts that ran in the backgorund or could run without
a GUI. I was surprised that this was useful, but I was told on the
Rosegarden list that there were numerous VSTs that worked this way.
Anyway, I've not used it and up until now thought that it was a
pretty specialized piece of software. I could be very wrong about
everything above.
From my POV, all Windows VST's of interest to me includes some part
of a GUI for control. It has been my thought that to get this GUI I
must run Wine, in one form or another. Possibly I'm wrong about that
or possibly DSSI has new capabilities.
Let us know what you find out.
Cheers,
Mark
Incidentally I'm following this thread with the greatest interest, as I've
all about given up on wine running anything "I" want to run on it, and am
looking forward to Dave's tutorial. Waiting in anticipation. Nigel.
Hi Mark. Sorry about the last post. There are about 2 lines of info. Tried to
progress to sourceforge to download dssi-vst, but konqueror suddenly starting
using 100%+ cpu. Don't know if some disgruntled windows user has knobbled the
sourceforge dssi-vst page. I was going to DL dssi-vst and see if there was
anymore info about it in the README. Doh. Nigel.
