I have the great Garritan Personal Orchestra (http://www.garritan.com/products/personal-orchestra-4/) and have used it successfully (on 64-bit Arch) – I haven’t touched it for 1.5 years, and it doesn’t load at the moment, but I’m also on a terribly out-of-date Arch version at the moment. It definitely worked beautifully back then. It’s not native to Linux, but with the help of SAVIHost (http://www.hermannseib.com/savihost.htm) through Wine it will load perfectly. Presets can be saved. I think it only allows a minimum of 256 frames per period, though. Miroslav Philharmonik from IK Multimedia (http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/philharmonik/) works in the same way, but I like GPO a lot more. -- Peter Crighton | Musician & Music Engraver based in Mainz, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de 2014-05-20 21:01 GMT+02:00 Jonathan E Brickman <jeb(a)ponderworthy.com>om>: _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user

I have had some luck with Kontact and festige

yes kontakt player does work under wine I had problems with connecting midi doing it that way though. I am able to perform on my keyboard using festige and the kontakt vst plugin (part of the player) On Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 10:39 PM, Aiyumi Moriya <aiyumi.br(a)gmail.com> wrote: > 2014-05-26 1:30 GMT-03:00, Danni Coy <danni.coy(a)gmail.com>om>: >> I have had some luck with Kontact and festige > > Really? :D That got my hopes up. > > Does the free Kontakt 5 Player also work under Wine?

2014-06-18 5:13 GMT-03:00, Danni Coy <danni.coy(a)gmail.com>om>: Thank you for the clarification :D . 2014-06-18 5:15 GMT-03:00, Danni Coy <danni.coy(a)gmail.com>om>: I gave it a try. Here, installation went fine. But I'm stuck on the initial configuration (the "audio and MIDI settings" screen that appears when Kontakt is run for the first time). This is the problem I'm having (from the other thread): 2014-06-17 22:49 GMT-03:00, Aiyumi Moriya <aiyumi.br(a)gmail.com>om>: After that, I gave it some more thought. The "Getting Started" guide says it "skips" this audio configuration if used as VST (the audio is left up to the host). Would it be possible to add libraries through the VST interface? -- ____________________ Blog: http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user

2014-06-30 22:58 GMT-03:00, Danni Coy <danni.coy(a)gmail.com>om>: If testing this way, just after installation, are you able to get past the initial audio setup screen? -- ____________________ Blog: http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user

2014-05-26 1:30 GMT-03:00, Danni Coy <danni.coy(a)gmail.com>om>: Really? :D That got my hopes up. Does the free Kontakt 5 Player also work under Wine? There's this violin sample library that I'm interested for quite a while now: http://embertone.com/instruments/friedlanderviolin.php

It is a solo violin library, but it also has an "ensemble" mode.
