Thanks, Kjetil. I got the mda_JX10 synth and tested the patch, it worked
fine (but no GUI, alas). I also tried the compakt and Barking Wombat
synths again with that example, both worked fine and both showed their
GUIs (after I added the opengui/closegui messages to the patch).
However, I still haven't figured out how to sound the patch via my MIDI
keyboard.
The vstserver is still very shaky. It often crashes after changing the
DLL name in the k_vst~ object. I can start the whole thing again with
the revised patch and it will work fine (until I try changing the DLL
again). Btw, I built and installed your version of WINE (from the NoTAM
site) and rebuilt the vstserver.
It seems like the newer wine-versions doesnt work quite as well with
the vstserver as the nov-dec2002 versions. I have experienced more
strange behaviour after upgrading too. But it might be coincidental.
Perhaps
Kjetil can provide a working example ?
The help2-k_vst~.pd patch in the k_vst~ tar file works for me. (last time
I tried at least). Press the "click to hear" button. I tried utilizing the MIDI input components from the
audio/MIDI test
patch but even though it shows MIDI data coming from my keyboard I'm
still not sounding the VSTi plugin. Suggestions ?
Hmm, no. I'm unfortunately not sitting at a linux machine right now.
Cant think of anything. Ask the pd-list perhaps? There seems to
be quite many that use the k_vst~ external on that list.
