THE way to install Arturia (non-iLok) plugs

[Kermit Jagger]

Excellent thread, but I just wish we could simply plug an external CD into the USB port without faffing with Linux.

[looneytunes]

Sure Kermit, you are right - this would be simpler as a user operation.

However, the other part (about running windows .exe's) still currently requires some Linux 'faffing'

-- unless Muse makes this into a graphically user-accessible operation too.

Anyway, Muse promises to make unsupported installs more accessible in upcoming OS releases, and I'm very curious to see what form this will take

.....

And also very curious to see when Syncrosoft dongles will be supported

Hi there Looneytunes,

I just read your post with great interest (I bought a Receptor a year ago but returned it after I couldn't get my Arturia apps to work), but the links you have in the initial post with respect to gaining root access to the Receptor no longer seem to work. Is this information available somewhere elese, or would you or someone mind posting the necessary steps?

Thanks much for this excellent thread,

PM sent to Ogg asking him...hopefully his site, http://ogg.kicks-ass.net, will be back soon!

Sorry about that. I got a new IP for my server out in the barn =D. It's updated it now.

Edit: And I also fixed so the auto update IP script I had works again (it hadn't for a looooong time and I'm a lazy bastard, thanks for kicking me in the butt and reminding me =) ).

Great - thanks much Hibernation and Olle, I can access the site now and will look over the information.

Hi Ogg,

Thanks for putting your FAQ back up. I wouldn't mind if you copied this thread to your Faqs OGG (since it might be useful past when the thread falls past the first page of this forum).

Kevin and Olle, you ROCK!! Thank you so much for posting these steps. I have all of my Arturia Vintage Collection synths up and running on my Receptor and I'm utterly stoked.

Best regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Cool! I'm glad this helped you.

I'm actually pretty impressed about the CPU usage on these Arturia plugs (seems less than others like Albino/Predator/....). I think 'the last shoe to fall' for Arturia synths on Receptor will be when SyncroSoft is supported, making Jupiter8V and ProphetV runnable.

Dear Muse,

First off, I'm excited about the work you folks are doing. It is great to see plugins moving toward a more stable and 'live-oriented' platform.

Second, I have an issue. If Receptor is built on Wine, and Wine is licensed LGPL, then whatever modifications and enhancements that you have made to Wine should also be available in source code form. This protects the codebase of Wine from being commercialized.

I work for a commercial software developer and we have had to do a similar revealing of source code for an open source reverb plugin we extended. The source code for our modifications had to be made available to others.

So, in the interests of increasing Linux platform access to Windows VSTs, I ask-- where's the source for Receptorized WINE?

Thank you. Please keep up the great work on Receptor!

Cheers,

I could be mistaken, but I think Receptor uses a standard version of Wine...the proprietary pieces are the hardware drivers and such.

Someone more knowledgable will certainly correct me if needed! (like Ogg? )

[oGG]

I know nothing... nothing at all! =P

The Wine sources, among others, can be found at Muse Research FTP; ftp://ftp.museresearch.com. And judging by the package name (wine-20040408-1muse.src.rpm) they have fiddled with the source a bit =D.

I recently pulled the trigger and got the whole Arturia analog suite (7 apps!), and got all excited about trying this method out. Everything went absolutely great until running the installer in Wine. I'm thinking that since my version of these CD's/executables *may* be more recent, my installation effort was halted there.

Basically, executing the installer via Wine worked, but no window would appear in either the monitor or the remote app. After waiting for a period of time, and clicking around to see if the window would appear somehow .. I'd hit cntl-c to exit the installer .. and THEN a window would pop up indicating that 'Control C hit'. After that, the 'enter registration' window would come up, and i'd excitedly put my name/sn in, but hitting submit would throw all kinds of panic windows (some kind of 'external error' type thing), and my Terminal window would show this error:

wine-pthread: caret.c:97: ME_MoveCaret: Assertion 'row->type == diStartRow' failed.
wine-pthread: caret.c:97: ME_MoveCaret: Assertion 'row->type == diStartRow' failed.


I tried installing with CS-80v and the Moog Modular.

I'm thinking these are newer versions, since no installer file name had any spaces in it. What a drag!

Thanks for the great info tho .. hopefully the next Muse OS update will allow installation of these great apps. (Wow .. deja vu)

Don't the newer version of the classic ALL require the syncrosoft dongle, or is that only for the Prophet and Jupiter?

Did you do the "EXPORT :DISPLAY=0" command prior to invoking the installer?

[looneytunes]

Hi gizmo,

What version of CS80, Modular, etc. is listed on the CDs? Perhaps the "complete package" has CDs with updated versions.

If they are the original versions (eg. 1.0) you should be able to install via this method, and then update to current versions via dropping in new .dlls and updating the registry for the Challenge/Response Key.

As Hyber said, Prophet and Jupiter require Synchrosoft, so this method doesn't work for them.
