That's pretty cool! It's tempting to suggest Camel Audio should have hired you last year,
but it's a U-he thread, gotta keep it under 200 pages.

Big news!!!

Here is an update of the plugins to the revision 3297 and the addition of two more plugins: MFM2 and Filterscape! I hope that you'll check them out

See the first page of this thread for download links.

uriukti, thanks for waiting and sorry for the delay for Hive/32 fix. I've been stuck in a dungeon full of dragons!

Cheers,
Alex.

Hello,

I too am having the problem with not being able to register zebra because clicking "enter your registration codes" does nothing. Maybe it has something to do with how I installed it? I ran the installer, but I have no idea where it installed it to, so I just moved the downloaded zebra folder into where Renoise looks for VSTs.

I was unable to locate the folder you specified to edit the .txt, but maybe I just don't know how to get to it. I copy pasted the url into my file explorer and replaced ace with zebra. I also could not find just /home/.uhe/ but maybe that can be attributed to me being a bit of a linux noob.

Running Mint Cinnamon 17.1

Carbonthief, zebra is installed into $HOME/.u-he/Zebra2.
Can you run in the terminal:

Code: Select all

$HOME/.u-he/Zebra2/dialog.64 register

and tell me what you see on the screen?
Thanks.

Abique, I knew and was very upset when you were in the dungeon .... full of dragons. I was faced with an asteroid and I needed more powerful engines to catch the help .... but I know you'll find a way. I believed. And then ... Hive works !!! Yeah !!!!! Now, I'll buy it. It is beautiful! Thank you very much, Abique.

Linux fans, here is an epic video of MFM in action!

Also, linux qtractor 0.6.4-1 is out in the kxstudio PPA,
which may have better support for Uhbiks, and Zebra2 installs.

qtractor can be found here, for manual installs, (until it gets out to main public repositories)

Running that did indeed let me input the registration info. The problem is it registered the copy that the installer installed, and not in a VST folder, where Renoise looks, so when I use it, it still says it's unregistered. I don't know how to get to get to that file path to copy to copy the folder into the VST folder. Every way I have tried to get to that path has failed usually with a message saying it doesn't exist.

The installed Zebra2 folder is in /home/you/.u-he
Maybe renoise is looking at the symbolic link /home/you/.vst/u-he/Zebra2.xx.so,
without having scanned the folder with registration status.

I would delete the existing links, and create a new link,
linking the folder .u-he/Zebra2
to the folder Renoise claims as it's default linux vst path.

If that fails, make the link from /home/you/.u-he/Zebra2/Zebra2.xx.so
to the default path.

or both.

ln -s /home/you/.u-he/Zebra2 /renoise-default-vst-path

This is very cool indeed. Thanks for making these available! I am definitely considering shelling out for one of these in the near future.

There is a strange bug regarding the pitch in renoise (not tried them in any other host yet) - the octave of the note seems to change after the first program change.

To reproduce this (in Podolski or Hive - the only 2 I have tested so far) - press a note on midi when vst is fired up, then change to another program and press a key - it will be one octave down (on podolski) or one octave up (on hive). Switch back to init voice and this new changed octave is maintained..

I input

Code: Select all

ln -s /home/carbon/.u-he/Zebra2 /usr/lib/vst

And got

Code: Select all

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/lib/vst/Zebra2’: File exists

Did I do this right?

No, you did it wrong.
Start the installer from the console and let it install. Then Renoise uses the environment variable VST_PATH, so set it like:

Code: Select all

export VST_PATH=/usr/lib/vst:$HOME/.vst

in your .bashrc.

If the root user ran your command, it would work, the folder Zebra2
would be linked in /usr/lib/vst ...but it would fail if the Zebra2 folder, or a link to it, already existed there.

Or if you ran the command a second time, you would see the error,
'because' the first command had already worked. Log-out/in to see changes

http://forum.renoise.com/index.php/topi ... -vst-path/

As examples, if we know an apps default vst path is /usr/lib/vst we could
link the .so or .dll directly:

ln -s /home/you/.u-he/Zebra2/Zebra2.32.so /usr/lib/vst

or in wine, for quick guitar access to MFM2,
ln -s /home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/MFM2.dll /home/you

Then use fst or fsthost to launch MFM2 like a standalone,
and qjackctl to connect system audio to MFM2.dll

I think repository ardour3 still won't search subdirectories for plugins, so needs
pointers to rescan in the needed vst destination directory. Having /home/you/.vst
as a master location can simplify things.
Cheers

Thanks for the help. I'm not 100% sure how I got this to work but I finally did get it registered.

I installed Midnight Commander, and looked around until I had deleted every last trace of Zebra 2. This was the also the only way I could find to delete the botched sym link I had created. Or rather, the only way I could find to find where it was so that I could delete it.

Once it was all gone I ran reinstall, created the symlink, tried to run the register line and got an error and though maybe I'd have to do it before creating the symlink, and deleleted everything and started over, and eventually found out that the register line just won't work if you run it in su. So I deleted everything again, ran register before creating a symlink, and checked renoise and to my surprise zebra showed up without there being a symlink (I really don't know what's going on here) but it was showing as unregistered. But much to my surprise this time, for the first time ever, clicking enter register codes worked, so I was able to input it the way you're supposed to.

Anyways it's registered now, thanks for helping out a noob!
