hi all... this is fst-1.8. loads vst instruments... and makes them a jack client. you need to have lash installed to build it. download is at: http://galan.sf.net/fst-1.8.tar.gz webpage is at: http://www.joebutton.co.uk/fst *** IMPORTANT *** there seems to be a "BUG" in wine, which prevents simultaneous startup of fst instances. (this happens on lash project restore) to circumvent this you need to have a persistent wineserver running. so just start "wineserver -p" before reloading a lash project. i hope to be able to fine a better workaround soon. So expect this in fst-1.8.1 which will also have complete vst state restore. currently only the parameters are restored. But this is a good start. please report back on wine version usage... and yes... many vsts NEED a lashing ;) -- torben Hohn http://galan.sourceforge.net -- The graphical Audio language
