the pizmidi plugins

[StudioDave]

Greetings,

The recent reference to Mr Alias reminded me that the mighty Piz has done some interesting work on a series of VST MIDI plugins that can be built for Linux. I tested them long ago for JOST, they worked well then. They have no equivalents in the Linux plugin collection, they provide some unique MIDI transformation tools, yet they seem almost ignored by the community.

Distro maintainers, here's your chance to package something different and extremely useful to those of composing/arranging with MIDI :

I've compiled pizmidi and made them available in the kxstudio repos.

Thanks, falk, they do work very well in Qtractor and not at all in Ardour3. A3 complains about not finding LinuxVST info so can't load the plugs. I've already contacted Paul about it, we'll work on it later today (maybe).

Source code for your build is available where ?

re: your adjustments for building pizmidi :

Small fixes to the code to make it compilable:
http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Paste/repo/Wj2LM

my custom makefile used to build deb-packages (upstream one is buggy):
http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Paste/repo/bIHAf

you need the vstsdk2.4 and to adjust VSTSDK for it in the makefile

Thanks a lot for those files, and thanks again for the work on these and other plugins.

Btw, how/where do I clone the distrho repo ?

erhm... distrho has nothing to do with this

Right, it's a separate question. I'd like to build your other plugins and standalones but can't find the git location.

You shouldn't use the git version at this point. I'm doing some major updates in the code and preparing the distrho-plugin-toolkit right now, code is not usable.
You can and should use the stable version instead:

(note: patch files can be ignored)

Cool, thanks for the pointer.
