Arturia V Collection 8 Windows vst3 in Carla

Post by Tarrasque »

Hi.

I have a working installation of the latest Arturia V synths and pianos on Windows 10.

I need to use them for a project. Mandatory. I can't substitute them with alternatives.

I tried to load them in Carla on KXStudio but I didn't manage to run them.

Honestly, I know really little about the subject of using Windows plugins under Linux. I know there are various ways to do the trick. I tried to read some docs online but I didn't understand much of it.

Can anyone give me an idiot proof step by step guide to use them? All I can say is that the windows installation works perfectly.

Thanks

I've had the most success with using LinVST to create shim '.so' files for Windows '.dll's.

Get the AVLinux distro iso
use a win app called rufus to burn avlinux iso to a usbstick.

Boot from the usbstick, via computers early-boot menu

avlinux comes with wine-staging 5.22 or newer,
and the Reaper daw demo. Run the command winecfg
and in one of it's preference tabs, it lets you choose which win to imitate, 7, 8, or 10

In the wincfg Drives tab, tick the box for showing hidden (dot) files

Use the simple command:

wine name-of-installer.exe on your arturia installer, surround it
with quotes if the name contains spaces, for example:

wine "arturia 8 collection.exe"

and use the default install locations that are presented.

Make sure Reaper prefs for plugin paths include the Arturia's new location.

(this will be the shortest way to success, and wine-staging is now at V6.06
in case the version in AVLinux doesn't work at first. Use synaptic package manager
to upgrade wine-staging, if needed add the suitable repository found at winehq.org

Start qjackctl, select your midi devices etc

Find the path to reaper.exe, and start it in a terminal:

something like wine /home/you/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/REAPER/reaper.exe"

In reaper device prefs, choose asio and wineasio should appear as the option.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'll try with AVLinux ASAP, but since my existing projects are on KXStudio if even remotely possible I'd like to stay there.

On KXStudio if I try to launch the installation I get a message telling me that my system is not x64, which isn't true, so i think it's a Wine configuration thing.

As a proof of concept, I tried installing the collection using more or less the procedure you poiinted out on a Ubuntu distribution which is on the same machine, and everything seems to have worked out except for errors regarding some VCRUNTIME140_1.dll libraries. I tried installing tem with Winetricks but the closest I could find and install are VCRUNTIME140.dll, from VC Runtime 2017, and they don't work. Could it be that my Wine installation is outdated?
