OSX builds
Is it possible to have also bulids of the OSX version (at least once in a while?)?
I was able to compile the the Linuxversion but I have no clue how to do it for OSX.
It would be really good t have a more actual version since the 1.0 has a bunch of problems.

Re: OSX builds
Did you try the build I posted here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/foru ... pler-devel ?

Re: OSX builds
I downloaded and unpacked it. Shouldn't it be an AU?

Re: OSX builds
OK. Understood: I copied the files over.
However, not working as expeted. I canonly create 1 channel. The second channels "hangs" and does not load any sound.

No, in this first experiment I just built the standalone linuxsampler, not the AU.typewriter wrote:I downloaded and unpacked it. Shouldn't it be an AU?
The linuxsampler standalone application needs to be able to find the dylib files, that's why they have to be copied to for example $HOME/libOK. Understood: I copied the files over.
Weird. I can't reproduce that. But I forgot to build with --enable-pthread-testcancel, which is needed on Mac. Maybe that's what's causing your problem.However, not working as expeted. I canonly create 1 channel. The second channels "hangs" and does not load any sound.
Here's another build, with --enable-pthread-testcancel, and also including an AU: http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/ma ... nt2.tar.gz

Re: OSX builds
Thank you for the new build! Now the AU can't be loaded anymore I am sure this is my fault here.
Could you please tell me your folder structure? I guess I did something wrong with the position of the several files you provided.
What is in your applications/linuxsampler folder?
Do I have to copy files elsewhere?

Re: OSX builds
I have LinuxsamplerAU.component under /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
My user is "andreas", so under /Users/andreas/lib I have the dylib-files:
I haven't copied anything to /Applications, the linuxsampler binary just stays where I happened to extract the tar file.
My user is "andreas", so under /Users/andreas/lib I have the dylib-files:
Code: Select all
$ pwd
/Users/andreas
$ ls lib
libgig.6.dylib liblinuxsampler.3.dylib libsndfile.1.dylib

Re: OSX builds
It's working now - well, somehow.
I tried Reaper (prerelease 4) 32bit.
When I insert one instance I get:
- 1 stereo channel
- 1 plugin midi port
- 1 audio device
I can't insert a second instance of the AU (may be not intended), if I do so LS (or fantasia) crashes
When I create a new channel in Fantasia - LS hangs sometimes while loading the second sound - sometimes intrument information (instrument index) can't be retrieved. When Fantasia (LS?) hangs, clicking the refresh button does not help. Resetting does nothing.
I have now clue how to create multiouts (audio).
When I add additional midiports I can only create Core midi devices. While that works, I can't switch the midi in of a channel to the second midi device.

OK, and I guess you're using the AU, not the standalone linuxsampler binary, right?I tried Reaper (prerelease 4) 32bit.
Yes, that's the intended behavior.When I insert one instance I get:
- 1 stereo channel
- 1 plugin midi port
- 1 audio device
You should only insert a second instance if you need more than 16 different midi channels. Otherwise you should let the other tracks send their midi to the first instance (use "Insert Track" in Reaper instead of "Insert Virtual Instrument on new track", click "io" on the new track and click "Add new send").I can't insert a second instance of the AU (may be not intended),
I can't reproduce that - if I add another instance, Fantasia shows two midi and two audio devices, as it should.if I do so LS (or fantasia) crashes
Doesn't happen here either.When I create a new channel in Fantasia - LS hangs sometimes while loading the second sound - sometimes intrument information (instrument index) can't be retrieved. When Fantasia (LS?) hangs, clicking the refresh button does not help. Resetting does nothing.
When one of your processes (there are only two involved, Reaper and Fantasia) hangs, can you click "Sample Process" in the Activity Manager, save the output and send it to me?
Me neither. The VST plugin creates 16 stereo outputs to choose from, but the AU plugin seems to create only one pair. I'm an AU beginner so I don't know if this is intended, configurable or a bug/limitation.I have now clue how to create multiouts (audio).
You're not supposed to add midi ports (or midi devices) when you're running LS as a plugin.When I add additional midiports I can only create Core midi devices. While that works, I can't switch the midi in of a channel to the second midi device.

Re: OSX builds
I am making progress.
The problems depend on the order you start things.
When I insert 2 LS plugin in reaper and start Fantasia afterwards I get 2 midi and audio ports as it should be. And I can load samples without problems (well, it takes sometimes quite long with the second channel)
If I insert one plugin, start Fantasia and insert another plugin afterwards Fantasisia is not working properly. I don't get a second audio port and in the second channel midi ports are missing.
Sometimes a refresh works then.
I any case multiout is really needed. Adding a seperate instance for every instrumentgroup is senseless since every plugin needs 100 MB RAM.
As I recall the 64bit AU needed significamtly less RAM, but had the same multiout problem.
