I managed to find xfst after not having much luck w/ jack_fst. I'm running a pretty recent version of wine under gentoo linux. xfst successfully launches every VST I've thrown at it so far and I even see what seems to be it kicking off a MIDI thread when routing MIDI from muse to it through jack. I believe I have everything setup correctly (although I am mostly likely doing something wrong) but I do not hear anything. Relevant info: Gentoo Linux 2.6.12 Built in sound card ALSA works fine Wine version wine-20050725-r1 Routing MIDI from muse to xfst running Crystal VST Routing audio out from Crystal VST to alsa_pcm outs Am I doing something incorrectly? I have tested jack etc by using zynaddsubfx. thanks, ~brian -- .--------------------------------------------------,--------. | Brian Sturk - http://users.adelphia.net/~bsturk \ C/C++ | .> )\,^a__ |-------------------------. bsturk<AT>adelphia.net | Python |( _ _)/ /-."~ | http://www.telengard.com `------------------------`-------| `( )_ )/ | Telengard Technologies Inc. - NT/*nix UI & device drivers |_<_s_<_s `-----------------------------------------------------------'
