So while the average audio user might like to have a VST plug in. There are some Distributions that will not ship with either VST plugins, VST containers or VST support. It also means some of the people who do a lot of audio coding and maintain binary packages don't care too much about about improving VST support. The average Linux user is no longer someone who regularly expects to roll their own code from source and in fact not that many distros even come with support for that. So to install from source means looking for and installing the tools to build with first. Many people who do audio have a 64bit OS. I know the windows VSTs are all 32 bit, but I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) The Linux VST is the same. The most commonly used DAW in Linux does not support VST. It can be compiled with VST support... but, it requires the tools to build and once you have done so you will not be able to get support from the Ardour devs if you have problems. They will first want you to install their pre-built image. In the end, it is up to you how much time you want to spend on your project. You are not charging for it, some people will find a way to use it so my thought is thank you for making it available on whatever terms you choose. If you have the time (and interest) try LV2, but don't feel you must if that will make it feel like a chore. Perhaps if someone else finds they like it, they will add an LV2 version.

Hmm do you have all the libraries? It *should* work on Ubuntu 10 since that's what I compiled it with. It's also a 32-bit .so, which I think I initially failed to mention on my site. On Linux, I've only tested it so far with Renoise, so maybe give it a shot there. I'm trying it right now with QTractor but it's greyed out in the add-track menu with no error in the log. I'm probably doing something wrong since this is the first time I've tried QTractor :) Louis

Hi Dave, Set the path to the VST by exporting the $VST_PATH environment variable. Then, fire up Renoise. Go to Edit -> Preferences, then down to the Plugins menu (the bottom-most menu IIRC), and enable VSTs. http://tutorials.renoise.com/wiki/Preferences#Plugins.2FMisc You may have to turn the bottom panel on (View -> Show Lower Frame), but there should be a tab down there that says Instruments Settings. There'll be a pulldown with every VST if they're enabled. I found a 1 minute tutorial on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfQ41ZtX-f0 Lemme know if you still have trouble!

Hmm the setup script is supposed to pick up VST_PATH if it exists. I should probably make the default dir be /usr/lib/vst though in cases where VST_PATH isn't set.

So, I've bumped the version up to 1.2 and fixed a few bugs. If you already have 1.1, I'd really recommend upgrading. I've also included a 64-bit Linux version! Please let me know how it works out and if there are any problems. Atte André Jensen wrote: I think they were really good synths-- surprisingly versatile. I always felt that they never got enough recognition. I recently picked up a Casio CZ-1000, and it's fun. But, the lack of patch editors (aside from emulation via DOSBox or STEem) makes old gear hard to use for me. I've even thought of picking up a real ST just for the MIDI support! Of course, this was a contributing factor to my writing this plugin :) You should be able to export FXPs using the feature in your VST host. If the host though doesn't support FXPs, there's no way of importing and exporting since it's a faceless plugin (no GUI). Which program are you using to run the VST?
