In the meantime I tried a few things: * update on all packages in debian/testing * upgrade KDE3.5 --> KDE4.2, * compiling dssi-vst-0.8 with Steinberg vstsdk2.4 instead of vestige headers. * starting another plugin AZR3.dll with success. Both (vestige or steinberg) versions of MrRay73.dll ended up with ... ------------------------------------------------------------------ [...] Initialising Windows subsystem... dssi-vst-server[1]: registered Windows application class "dssi_vst" dssi-vst-server[1]: created main window done dssi-vst-server[1]: created audio thread Failed to set realtime priority for audio thread: Operation not permitted terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc Aborted ------------------------------------------------------------------ For a short period of time (until "Aborted") I see MrRay73 in jacks connection table as readable client. A MrRay73 GUI never appears. My guess is, MrRay73.dll is incompatible with dssi-vst :-/ I could have known, there is no entry in the Linux Vst Compatibility list: http://ladspavst.linuxaudio.org/ Any other good Rhodes-Clone-plugin known? - oz P.S.
