Hey hey,
I just built vst4cs on Linux and as such it runs great. But I don't get a few 
things, yet...

Is there anyway to list not only the total number of parameters, but a 
detailed list with index-numbers and parameter names? Or is there another 
commandline tool that could perform that duty?

Best wishes and TIA,

Jeanette

The vstinfo opcode provides information about a VSTi. This information
is printed to the Csound messages console.

So far so good. Must have been to vague earlier:
is there an opcode inside Csound to print the actual indeces and connected 
names of parameters? If not in Csound, is there an external program to do so 
on the commandline? I did find RenderMan, a Python library, which is a little 
awkward to use, since I've never actually written Python, though something 
could probably be cobbled together from their documentation and some basic 
ptyon examples.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Hi Michael,
hm, so it does what I thought it would do, but it doesn't do it for Dexed, 
Digits, oxefmsynth and helm, which I have tried. Or is it possible that my 
installation misses some library feature somewhere, which disables this 
feature? I've downloaded the VSTSDK that was linked in the README for vst4cs 
and have used the version 2.x. Anything to improve?

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette

P.S.: with Pianoteq 6 there are the same results, so something is suboptimal.

The CPU architecture must be the same for the VST plugin and for
Csound and for vst4cs. By default VST plugins used to be built for 32
bit CPU architecture, Csound on Linux by default is built for 64 bit
CPU architecture.

On my system there are two binaries for Pianoteq, as follows:

mkg@bodhimandala:~$ find Pianoteq\ 6/ -ls
  6031301  43744 -rwxr-xr-x   1 mkg      mkg      44791904 Oct 30
07:53 Pianoteq\ 6/i386/Pianoteq\ 6.so     THIS IS 32 BIT
  6031302  43832 -rwxr-xr-x   1 mkg      mkg      44883264 Oct 30
07:54 Pianoteq\ 6/amd64/Pianoteq\ 6.so THIS IS 64 BIT

So you have load probably Pianoteq\ 6/amd64/Pianoteq\ 6.so.

You also have to activate the PIanoteq to be able to use it by
entering your license key.

Regards,
Mike

I have loaded that one on my AMD64 CPU with my Csound just compiled for
that same architecture. I also tried a VST, which I could only install
as a binary, which wouldn't even load. Pianoteq plays, as do the other
ones, which were all downloaded as source and compiled on my system, for
the amd64 architecture.

I don't know anything about license keys, I just use the trial softwoare
for now - and should I like it as much as I think I might - I can only
hope that this license key doesn't have to be entered in the plugin
itself. :(

Also, all the other VSTs that I have tested, generate sound as expected,
although the performance has to be tweaked a little bit, but for now
that's purely my problem, until I might find out that I can't solve it.
:)
...

Goodnight,

Jeanette

The CSD is attached, the command is:
csound vst.csd
You might want to know that JACK is running and any audio output
straight to dac (without specifying rtaudio) goes through a special ALSA
plug device, that passes audio on to JACK.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

I have identified your problem. Your path to the VST is not correct.
The actual pathname contains spaces, which is fine, but you must
escape them in your Csound code. You have:

gipianoteq      vstinit         "/home/jeanette/x/Pianoteq
6/amd64/Pianoteq 6.so", 1

It should have a slash in front of every space character, like this:

gipianoteq      vstinit         "/home/jeanette/x/Pianoteq\
6/amd64/Pianoteq\ 6.so", 1

No change. But wouldn't Csound have loaded the plugin at all if the
path had been wrong? Is there perhaps a special VST path environment
variable to set?

I have a slightly modified version, which skips the vstinfo bit, but
does produce sound, albeit with some stuttering and occasionally hanging
MIDI notes with Helm and Pianoteq. Dexed runs very smoothly, but has the
same terse informational output.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Hi,

I can confirm that I also did not get output about control channels with vstinfo. I tried it with some kind of VST reverb, cannot recollect correctly now and not by that computer. In one mail in this thread Michael wrote:

>The vstinfo opcode provides information about a VSTi.

Does it mean that it is less useful for signal processing VST-s?

Is your output smoother if you do not use Jack, but just ALSA?

Also, you can increase the Jack timeout to a ridiculous number like
50000 ms and ignore xruns, this seems to help with me.

Regards,
Mike

No difference before, but after the latest pull from github and a reboot
of the machine, everything works fine now.

Thanks a lot for your help! Very much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Jeanette
