Re: VSTi status
Can the LS VSTi be compiled as a Native Linux VST?
I haven't tried it myself, but it would be smashing for use in Qtractor now that Rui implemented support for multi-timbral plugins.
(Guess I should remove "VST support" from the feature poll next time... )

Re: VSTi status
No. The LS VSTi support means that LS can run as a VSTi plugin, not that LS can host other VSTi plugins.Steele wrote:Did I get it right that the goal is to load wrapped win32 VST-instruments (vsti) in a Linuxsampler channel and save them (with their settings) as a linuxsampler project? so channel one is a .gig and channel two some VSTi-instrument?

Re: VSTi status
Oh, ok. Linuxsampler as VSTi plugin.
Then I guess the vote is for the LV2 plugin.
But it WOULD be great to host dssi, lv2 and linux-vsti and wine-vsti with Linuxsampler. Makes it the LinuxUberSampler

Well, now we have Cubase 5 with full 64bit support - and very interesting scoring features. I am really looking forward to linuxsampler vstisbenno wrote: As for 64bit support, an unofficial mingw version (gcc for windows) already seems to support generating 64bit binaries on WIN64
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/
so we could try to compile LS VST in 64bit mode and see if it works.
Re: VSTi status
Hi,
Would it be possible to get a list of VST hosts that people have the VSTi working in? I have tried (so far unsuccesfully) with VSTHost and Cantabile 1.2 lite. Fantasia loads, but when I attempt to load more than one rank I get the good old BSOD (blue screen of death) or the host just bombs out.
Thanks,
GrahamG

Re: VSTi status
I don't think so. This is just about running Linuxsamler as VSTi in any VST capable host like Cubase etc.Steele wrote:Did I get it right that the goal is to load wrapped win32 VST-instruments (vsti) in a Linuxsampler channel and save them (with their settings) as a linuxsampler project? so channel one is a .gig and channel two some VSTi-instrument?

I have run it successfully in energyXT2 (Core 2.07 CM Edition), Reaper 2.53, Samplitude SE 9.1.1, Tobybear MiniHost 1.64 and SAVIHost 1.30.ggoodesa wrote:Would it be possible to get a list of VST hosts that people have the VSTi working in?

Note that you currently have to be careful with what functions you use in Fantasia. Some of them are forbidden for the VSTi, and will make the sequencer crash. This includes all operations in the "Devices" tab, and changing midi or audio device or midi input for a channel. Edit: the following is wrong! Also, you should not add or remove channels in Fantasia, as they correspond to the plugin instances you create in your sequencer and appear and disappear automatically.

Aha! That's why Qtractor kept on crashing.Andreas wrote:Also, you should not add or remove channels in Fantasia, as they correspond to the plugin instances you create in your sequencer and appear and disappear automatically.

Re: VSTi status
No, sorry, this is wrong! I was just being confused. You can add channels in Fantasia, that's even how you're supposed to make the VST play multiple instruments.Andreas wrote:Also, you should not add or remove channels in Fantasia, as they correspond to the plugin instances you create in your sequencer and appear and disappear automatically.
It is also possible to add extra instances of the VST in the sequencer (to get more than 16 midi channels for example), but every instance will use it's own disk buffers, so it should not be used just to play more than one gig instrument.
