Press the "click to hear" button. Thanks, Kjetil. I got the mda_JX10 synth and tested the patch, it worked fine (but no GUI, alas). I also tried the compakt and Barking Wombat synths again with that example, both worked fine and both showed their GUIs (after I added the opengui/closegui messages to the patch). However, I still haven't figured out how to sound the patch via my MIDI keyboard. The vstserver is still very shaky. It often crashes after changing the DLL name in the k_vst~ object. I can start the whole thing again with the revised patch and it will work fine (until I try changing the DLL again). Btw, I built and installed your version of WINE (from the NoTAM site) and rebuilt the vstserver. I tried utilizing the MIDI input components from the audio/MIDI test patch but even though it shows MIDI data coming from my keyboard I'm still not sounding the VSTi plugin. Suggestions ?
