Hi everyone
I'd really like to be able to finally use the new and shiny
ZynAddSubFX in Qtractor (latest from source).
I tried the "zynaddsubfx_dssi" but even ghostess could not start it:
⚡ ghostess
/usr/lib/dssi/libzynaddsubfx_dssi.so
ghostess: ghostess starting...
ghostess: failed to load plugin library
/usr/lib/dssi/libzynaddsubfx_dssi.so
Then I build the full monty using the
latest source tar.gz on SF, because I could not get the
git master branch to compile (I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with
3.13.0-36-generic).
Now ghostess does load something
⚡ ghostess ~/src/zynaddsubfx-2.4.4/build/src/libzynaddsubfx_dssi.so
ghostess: ghostess starting...
ghostess: instance 0 on channel 0, plugin 0 is
'libzynaddsubfx_dssi/ZASF/inst00'
ghostess: listening using ALSA MIDI
ghostess ready
I get a small window with just a "UI" button ; when clicked, it
reveals a window with a "Send test note" that works! :) Just a sine
wave "a" but still.
There are "bank" & "program" menus, but they don't seem to work.
In Qtractor, I get basically the same thing, without the test sound
:/
It seems to be lacking both UI definitions and instruments.
I also tried building Carla and puttin bin/carla.lv2 in my lv2 dir,
carla showed up in qtractor LV2 tab but failed to load with
suil
error: Unable to wrap UI type <http://kxstudio.sf.net/ns/lv2ext/external-ui#Widget>

How can I link all this together? Wow, I'm on it since early this
morning!? Thanks to anyone who's listening.

PS - I tried the "zynadd" package (can't find the sources/repo) w/o
any luck
PPS - WAIT! I missed the " ZynAddSubFX" entry in the LV2 list! This
is from Carla (I tested it by trying to remove the carla.lv2 dir) ;
It does load (and a song save / qtractor restart yeld no error) only
I can't neither load a new instrument (I cloned the
instrument repo and selected the dir as the default) nor seem
to affect the sine sound playing (I turn the knobs, say ADSR in edit
instrument and nothing changes)) so now I don't have ZASF but
can see it from where I am :) Thank you for your patience.
