Hi there !
I have a question concerning vst plugins/instruments under linux.
I would like to use vst/plugins/instruments lets say absynth under linux and being controlled by pure data.
I wonder if someone has tried a setup like that.
Is it better to run vstserver or to run cubasesx under wine and within that the vst-plugins/instruments ???
Does someone have a cubasesx running under wine with vst instruments inside ??? How do i communicate with pd ?? Through midi-audio /JACK-connction ???
Running cubasesx under wine seems like a bad idea, since its such a big program. But it might work. My bet is that its easier to try and get the vstserver to work.
The howto i found
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/
is a little bit too superficial (at least for me since i am not such a linux expert) , Is there anything more in depth - including all the steps for wine etc ???
Sorry, its not easy to set up. Except, if you run mandrake. Then there are rpm-packages available.
