Will the plugin bridges be able to be loaded in something other than carla? In others words, can we load the bridges in a different host?

It seems that current carla-git crashes when loading a windows vst. Can anyone confirm ?

It might be my fault. :lol:
I changed the bridge spec a bit so that it could pass transport info.
Transport info will indeed be cool.

Still Carla git (carla-bridge-win32 "1.9.0+git20140227") closing immediately when Itry to load a 32 bit windowds dll (on Debian Jessie 64 bits).

Was the plugin working before in Carla? and which one?
Have you tried some other win-vst plugins?

The bridges are working fine to me.
I might had introduced a regression for a specific one though.
I've installed few vst windows, for testing purpose. They were all working "before" , let's say 10 days ago, can't remember which Carla version, but
I think it was the very first version of the new bridge. None of them is working now :
Hercules systems Abakos Pro (impossible to get now)
Audjoo Helix (needs a licence, but you can try the demo)
Reaktor
HG Fortune Fortune Cookie 06
Xoxos Hyperion

I know its not fully supported but i am doing some testing of ubuntu 14.04 with the kx repos on a test box. got everything loaded up fine but the only little niggle is carla 1.2.4 and win vst. I keep getting a timeout. i have manually loaded dssi-vst and all of the carla bridges. is there something i missed. sorry i just dont know all of the dependancies for carla.


by the way i just installed the git version of carla and i to crash immediatly when loading a vst. arch buntu or sid. not nagging just reporting

thanks

maybe i spoke wrong

" Failed to load plugin

Timeout while waiting for a response from plugin-bridge

(or the plugin crashed on initialization?)

this is with 1.2.4

i installed dssi-vst winasio and registered it and the carla bridge debs.

anyway not a big deal. i am an arch user but i usually keep one working version fo your distro on a dedicated drive and i have 5 more drives in the machine i use to test other distros. there was mention in another thread about testing with 14.04 and i thought i would give it a shot

Last night's carla-git loads windows vst now. Obviously, not all, but the problem is often on the gui side. For now, I consider it fixed for me. Thanks FalkTX : what was the problem ?

i installed the git version via sudo apt-get install carla-git. same deal. i am assuming this is using a source deb that hasnt been updated yet. ill try the hard way later

it's supposed to be working for both normal plugins and bridges now.
Do you have an exemple of a working vst with transport ? I can't find any working.

I tried with the JuceDemoPlugin but it was using the linux build (but still via bridge).

I'll going to test with this and check if all is working:

That one doesn't work for me,neither various step sequencers vst.

Hi all,
i can get windows VST to load in ardour with the Carla plugin on audio tracks. It works great.
For recording our drummers kit we triggered the bassdrums, snare and the toms connected to a Roland TD and record them to a midi track.
I normally use Festige or Carla standalone, sometimes Ardour3 VST, to load Addictive drums with a selfmade preset to get the metal drumsound that fits our music.
The carla plugin inside ardour inserted on a midi track however doesn't load addictive drums because it is multichannel, Is there a chance carla will ever load multichannel VST's on a midi track?

Tnx FalkTx for the great work
