Getting Ardour to Show DrumGizmo Main Window
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2017 9:30 pm
Hi,
I am working with Linux Mint 17.3 and the DrumGizmo plugin was not available so I compiled from source. I did the full configure/make/make install, and did compile WITH the --lv2-enabled flag on (think that's the right syntax). I looked through the configure --help options and nothing else really stood out to me. There were no errors on the build.
After the install and starting up Ardour, I can create a Midi channel and select DrumGizmo as an instrument, and can assign the 16 channels or auto it. Once the channel is created, it sort of looks good, but the external MIDI device shows Generic (not sure if this right, I would have expected it to say DrumGizmo).
When I go to the mixer page and double click on the DrumGizmo plugin for this channel, I get the simple DrumGizmo screen, the one that has latency, freewheel and the keyboard, and a bunch of other stuff, but I do not get the window to select the drum kit, midi map and humanizer. Nothing I click on will give me that page. I am able to get the drum kit load window up by running the plugingui in the ./plugingui directory, but that does't feed back into Ardour that I can tell.
I'm not sure what might be wrong. Looking through everything, as far as I can tell, the LV2 module is installed correctly under /user/local/lib/lv2, and this path is in the Ardour LV2 path. I do notice in the drumgizmo.ttl file that FreeWheel is listed... is there an option on the "make install" command I need to add to get it to put the other plugin in?
Thanks in advance. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is probably just a simple configuration issue.
