Thx:
Anyone that's run Arturia's Moog Modular or mini-moog, or any of a dozen
great vsti's, will realize that they just CAN't Do without them. And Wine
makes a mess out of these plugins for starters, from what I can tell.
So I guess I've made the right choice.
No doubt linux is coming into it's own and I'll be able to dump the horrid
Windohs for good one day.
But not today.
Cheers

Yes, I built mine from source too....it does have DSSI....but I've
had enough frankly, see you guys in a few years when it's all worked
out. It's not worth the effort, as far as I can see.
If you mean VSTs on Linux, I doubt it will ever be all worked out. Wine
has been in progress for more than 13 years, it has never been perfectly
compatible with Windows and it probably never will be. My suggestion is
to use Windows if you want to run Windows software, and use Linux if you
want to run Linux software.
