Hi linux audio users:
I'm using linux audio tools since years now, but I never tried to use
VST instruments: now I found a product that I'd like to buy, but I can't
test it right now because at the moment I only have a PPC machine and
wine won't run with it.
It's a synthesized orchestra called synful:
http://www.synful.com/
the demos are just amazing, and there is a trial version for download; I
wonder if this product can run on linux, and I'm ready to write to the
author to ask for linux support (eg: I will buy that if can run on
linux).
Can I ask to those of you who have VST support up and running to test
it with libfst?
TIA

I'll download and try it for you... but any other folks with fst working
should to just for mileage check. My working fst is on Mandrake 10.1.

Amazing is an understatement. The demos are UNBELIEVABLE! I'm in
shock.

Unfortunately, there are no plans currently to port to Linux only to MAC
OSX.

Clever, but everything is still just samples being played. Definitely
sounds pretty good though.

Still it is *very* impressive that they fit all those samples in 32MB which
does imply some pretty cool synthesis magic in terms of how those samples
are superimposed and/or looped...

Yes, I realized after reading about the "technology" it's just a
software "rompler" (the size of the download tipped me off too) however
the sound of those samples is really stunning. The first two I can
hardly tell are software generated.
Even if this is just fancy sample/noise/phrase mixing/modulation the
results are great judging only from what I've heard.

Tried with my trusty working install of libfst (jack_fst) on Mandrake
and could not get it to fly. WOuld not install under Wine so I installed
on a Windows machine and filched the .dll...still didn't fly. Sorry. :(
Some do...some don't. Vst is still hit n miss unfortunatly.

works like a charm with the latest version of wine and jack_fst,
although i think edirol's orchestral is a lot better.

I have 20040505 vers of Wine. Interesting to know that it works with the
newer release.
Did you do a full install of the Windows app or just use the dll?

Pretty good but the solo sequences are a bit wooden.
It might be better at large-scale orchestral parts.
I don't know any other similar product (i'm a Linux-only guy) so i can't
make any comparison.
