Hi Russell:
What version of WINE is installed ? Here are some details about my system:
WINE 20031118
libfst 1.6
jack_fst 1.2
JACK 0.98
ALSA 1.0.4
Hmmm...Wine 20040614 I believe
libfst came from thac's but I think is 1.5
jack_fst 1.2
Jack .98.8
Alsa 1.0.5a
Check for earlier versions of things, i.e., in both the /usr and
/usr/local hierarchies. I know people like package managers, I like them
too, but this stuff is likely to be a "best fit" if you compile and
install it yourself. And as you probably know, the version of WINE can
make a difference.
Yeah the older version of wine I had was a little steadier out of the
box. Only ran progman, winecfg, etc but it did work. Just uninstalled
and reinstalled Wine from Thac's and now the bugger don't work at all!
Will keep trying. Might need to comile my own Fst but get Wine working
first obviously.

So I got Jack_fst built last night...after going
thru the usual
./configure nightmares. These mainly came down to not having devel
packages installed on MDK. (takes that to get the "pkg-config" files in
/usr/lib/pkg-config).
I already had Thac's "libfst" installed so I built Jack_fst. I used the
"fixheaders" script on the afectfx.h or whatever it is that was
installed from the fst rpm. It5 seemed to work as it allowed "make" to
do just that; Make! :)
So...it's showtime.....I run Jack up in the usual manner. I hold my
breath anf in a terminal i run "jack_fst Hyper Canvas. I see it
hesitating and comes back with " "no such file or directory". Ok...at
least it didn't esplode! :) So I specify the full path. (I copied all my
.dll vst's into /usr/lib/wine) I run 'jack_fst Hyper Canvas'...{still
holding breath} It now returns "cant load Hyper". Hmmm...Well at least
it sees it but does not like the space in the file name.
So I truncate the file name by renaming it "HyperCanvas". I run it again
in same manner...Pauses {face is now blue}...Pops up several windows
registry errors in a box labelled "Edirol Hyper Canvas"
"Cannot open registry."
{1E711428-673C-ETC,ETC,ETC}
OK
Then terminal responds with;
"fst signal handler 11, thread=0x4095c260"
"fst signal handler 11, (TEB=0x40a22000)"
And then dies....and I finally take a breath! :)
I'm so close I can SMELL it! Is this just a permissions issue? fst is
clearly talking to Hyper canvas. I tried some othe vst's. Also sometimes
get something like "Could not talk to GUI thread" or such in terminal?
Thanks

Hi Russell:
Well, I have only a Casio CZ101 for a MIDI keyboard, it doesn't have a
mod wheel but its pitch bend seems to work fine with HC. Program change
works too. I like HC's ability to shut down certain channels, that's
very handy for me. The instrument edit panel opens fine and seems to
behave correctly.
I should also note that its redraws were quite sluggish on my 800 MHz
machine, and if its graphics were disturbed during play they weren't
redrawn until play ended. The sound was uninterrupted, but I was not
encouraged to do a lot of realtime parameter changes. I'm sure a faster
machine would yield better results.
Now, for big fun you should try running Softwerk with the Crystal
VSTi... hoots galore !
Best regards,

KOOL!!
I gave up on this thread...thought no one knew or cared!
Does all of the midi functionality work too? And also tone adjust on
individual instruments?
Guess I'd better try harder at getting Jack_fst to work. Never have had
any luck with it or VSTserver...
Thanks for letting me know.
