I know the question of Linux versions has come up before, but I honestly wouldn't expect an independant developer such as Urs to do that now, but wondered whether supporting wine, at least unnoficially would be viable.

I say this because it's only one step away from supporting windows, and so far the plugins I've tried are very nearly there anyway. Berlin works fine, once the fonts it uses are installed.

Uhbik works fine, again, once the fonts are installed, bar a problem with the knobs; the graphics jump about all over the place, whilst they are actually doing what they should do in terms of processing the audio

like so:

I think Urs implemented the knobs in a slightly unusaul way, which is why there's problems on Uhbik but not Brazil, and I know that this is actually a problem with wine (if it works in windows it should work in wine), but just wondered if there was something easily doable which might resolve the issue?

I've been waiting for a long time for wine to get to the point where it would run everything I want, and currently Uhbik is the only vst I use which doesn't work :( (bootsies now working, yay :))

Anyhoo, I know none of this is Urs's problem, just thought I'd bring it up for hoots and hope

Thanks

Maybe the knob graphics are sorted differently (by size or by a different numerical counting algorithm whatsoever). Other plugins use "strips" where all frames of an animation are packed into a single image - but I hate that and thus I sue a directory full of graphics files instead.

What I certainly could do is, I could sort the files internally again after loading. Then it wouldn't matter at all which way the directory mechanism orders them.

That sounds brilliant, anything you could do would be fantastic Urs

:oops: Embarrassed bump, as this also happens with Tyrell too :oops:

Filed a bug report with wine too.

Anyway, Tyrell sound fantastic, looking forward to DIVA :)

probably not the right thread, i would quitely like to add my +1 to those who are interested in a native linux vst. This is all im going to say about it. After trying most availble stuff for linux, i found that renoise for linux is , contrary to most other daws, rock stable and a very good host, and just about the only useful complete vst synth is TAL noizemaker (64bit...not much else is availbale at this point), that some ppl compiled for linux thank god, which i now use for just about anything except samples. ANything with wine when it comes to audio is way to unstable. COnnecting things with jack etc, is a NIGHTMARE. The ONLY reason i still keep windows xp as a second boot option is to be able to use zebra and a few other, but if zebra went native, that would be the final blow for windows for my part. Life has become so much simplere with linux. As far as i know, when something is ported for mac it's not that far away to compile it for linux. im done..im just saying.

Hello linux/U-he fans,

Just to let anyone having the same issue know I have found the cause of the problem and a workaround :)

The problem is that ext file system doesn't do any sorting of files on its own, it just gives you the files in the order they appear on the hard drive, so I made a fat32 partition (doesn't work properly with ntfs), and now Uhbik, Tyrell and Diva are all working perfectly, and I'm exceedingly happy

cheers

:)

Hi todd_r,

We're also working on a new method to store those frame based animations. In future they'll be all in one file - that should do the trick too!
