"ZynAddSubFX VST doesn't work in X or Y" PostHere

[paulnasca]

I have seen that many topics sounds like this: "ZynAddSubFX VST doesn't work in X".

Please post theese questions or issues report here.
A quick answer. If ZynAddSubFX vst doesn't work in X or Y, please try to use the standalone version.
I will solve theese kind of problems when I can. Now I cannot because 1) the price of Windows, of most vst hosts,etc. are prohibitive for a Romanian programmer. 2) So, I don't use Windows at home: I have only Linux, installed.Anyway, even if I would have windows, I would use only for VST developing&testing, for other stuff, Linux & free/open source software is ok for me. 3) I don't have too much time. I am investing the little free time to write docs and other zynaddsubfx stuff.

Thanks.
Paul

Paul it won't work in Live 4.0 and you can downlaod the Host demo for Live 4.0 which will host VSTi's as is without any cash outlay.
If you try it you'll find it crashes Live 4.0 in a Major way I'm afraid - and there's a noticeable midi lag / delay problem via USB controller in stand alone mode with XP pro also.

Hello,

which version is ZynAddSubFX?

Is it possible to use ZynAddSubFX with programms that supports VST 2.0 ? I think yes. But what can be the problem that it didn't work.

I'm using MusikMaker (www.magix.com)

How can I help to fix the problem?

Hi,

it worked with a previous verion of Live4 so Im beginning to think the bug is with the latest build of Live4. Fruityloops aslo used to work fine as a VSTi but no longer doe in Live4

Hello,

unfortunately it could be a problem by myself.

I played today with the driver options in MusicMaker and got some crashes. After a view crashes and restarts ZynAddSubFX was loaded as VSTi and it works well.

JUCHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! I'm sooooooo happy !!!!!!!

ZynAddSubFX crashes SX3 during sequencer startup. If I remove it from the VstPlugins directory (Logic/Vstplugins) the problem goes away.

Hello,

I will chanbe my sequenzer software to Tracktion.
Only ZynAddSubFX didn't work.

Is here anybody who works with Tracktion and can use ZynAddSubFX?

The same happens with Cubase SE, which is not that surprising I suppose.

Hi Nasca,

I took a look at the sourcecode. Zynaddsubfx's setchunk and getchunk are missing a parameter. So you defined two new functions by "overloading" them instead of "overriding" them.

Defined in Vstsdk 2.3 audioeffect.h:

virtual long getChunk (void** data, bool isPreset = false) { return 0; }
virtual long setChunk (void* data, long byteSize, bool isPreset = false) { return 0; }

Defined in zynaddsubfx's main.C:

long VSTSynth::getChunk(void** data)
{
int size=0;
size=vmaster->getalldata((char **)data);
return(size);
};

void VSTSynth::setChunk(void *data,long size)
{
vmaster->putalldata((char*)data,size);
};

Both are missing the "bool isPreset" parameter. Also, both return "size" which is type "long". Fix them and parameter saving should work.

ZynAddSubFX didn't save the settings, where the banks are and so on:

What do I wrong?

So, did Paul ever get those lines fixed? Have you tried e-mailin' him?

Btw, ZynaddsubFX is my fav synth!
Got some mates around and they were blown away by it!

Thanks for telling me.
I will fix this.

If you have a copy of Energy XT you can use it to get around most "synth X does not work in Host Y" problems.

Energy XT is a plugin that can host other plugins (and a lot of other things).

Instead of opening the synth directly in your host open the Energy XT plugin instead. Then open the problem plugin within Energy XT.

I successfully got ZynAddSubFx working with Live 4 using this method.
