Hey falktx,
carla-rack crashes Mixbus the same way it did Ardour3. Would the same command work for Mixbus as well?
I understand if you're not sure. I might have to contact Ben on IRC.

Hi,
just testing the carla-git version in ardour 3,
i get an error message when trying to load ADD on a midi channel : Could not find the requested plugin label in the plugin library
I refreshed the plugins in the standalone version and it opens up fine, i cant refresh them inside ardour.
Any idea on how to fix this error?

No, its a windows VST plugin,
Addictive drums (ADD).
It loadś fine in the standalone version and in carla-rack, except in carla-rack i only have events-in no midi-in?

First I'll start by expressing my gratitude. I always feel like I'm complaining when I report a bug or something.
Major props for these plugin bridges. I suspect they will become the new standard for Linux users wanting to run windows VSTs. You are a fantastic programmer and I couldn't do alot of what I do without the contributions you've made.
Having said that... I'm getting a new crash bug in Ardour 3 (the KX Build with the two QT remove commands you gave me).
Code: Select all

I use some midi sequencers vsts, but I can't send transport to them, so they don't run actually and send no data. Is there a way to start them ?

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.
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
