Thanks to ssj71 you can now compile a linux version for vst2413

Here's how I did it

1. get the source.

   Code: Select all

   git clone https://github.com/ssj71/vst2413

2. Download the vst sdk from Steinberg from
   http://www.steinberg.net/sdk_downloads/ ... ld_352.zip
   unzip it (duh)
   
3. Now the tricky part
   
   This is from the CMakeLists.txt

   Code: Select all

   # you must download the VST SDK and copy the directory:
   #   pluginterfaces/vst2.x
   # into vst2.x/pluginterfaces/vst2.x
   # and all the files from:
   #   public.sdk/source/vst2.x
   # into vst2.x

   In the vst2413/source directory create a vst2.x directory and copy those files to it.
   
   Here's my directory listing of vst2413/source/

   Code: Select all

   ~/build/vst2413/source$ tree
   .
   ├── CMakeLists.txt
   ├── emu2413
   │   ├── 2413tone.h
   │   ├── 281btone.h
   │   ├── emu2413.c
   │   ├── emu2413.h
   │   ├── emutypes.h

       │       ├── aeffectx.h
       │       └── vstfxstore.h
       ├── vst2.x
       └── vstplugmain.cpp

4. Once your directory setup is complete cd back in the vs2413 dir.
5. Create a build directory and enter it
6. run

   Code: Select all

   cmake ../source/

7. now run

   Code: Select all

   make

8. Beautiful compiler output will scroll through the cli.
   You'll end up with 3 lib2413*.so files, those are the vst

   Code: Select all

   rob@laptop:~/build/vst2413/build$ ls
   CMakeCache.txt  CMakeFiles  cmake_install.cmake  libemu2413.a  libvst2413p.so  libvst2413r.so  libvst2413s.so  Makefile

9. copy the *so files to a directory where your DAW can find them
   usually this is ~/.vst

• Note : I had to install cmake
• Note : you might need more packages installed to compile this but you are on linux and therefore very smart and you'll figure it out
• Note : but seriously , if you need help just say so
• Note : I like bullet lists

I'm laughing slightly puzzled about just what I can do now in roughly 10 minutes...
Attached you find a Window 64bit compile of all three plugins. I still don't understand the "rhythm" section, because it won't bring up any interface on any version, but anyway... it's in there, too!

The rhythm section uses a similar mapping to General MIDI drums e.g. kick on C3 and such.

[RichardSemper]

Pretty much got it working in mulab, even put a front end on.

Unfortunately, although patch saving (fxp) works fine, these have to be reloaded for each instance every time project is reloaded, as the state is not remembered and returns to default.

Should be interesting though. For once I will try to do a quickie

[Taron]

Yeah, I was going to look at it in a moment, too, fixing the weird instance copy patch loss, but also making a little GUI for it. We shall see. I won't dedicate much time to it, but it could be fun! Source looks interesting.

[asi4]

vst2413 is really minimalistic! I think month will be interesting.

[Taron]

Ok, here's a quick fix for vst2413s (Win 64), allowing to copy instances while keeping parameters!

Wonderful! - This also fixes the issue on reloading project. Thanks

[generaldiomedes]

I got the stock version working on Reaper using the on-screen keyboard, rather than using my MIDI keyboard input. For some reason, MIDI input causes the note to hang.

Hmm .. this doesn't show up for me in Studio One / Win 64

[Taron]

No idea, general, why it wouldn't show up. Make sure you have no other version interfering. I assume, Studio One will try to scan your vst folder?! So, yeah, make sure you're doing everything right first! And be sure it brings up a generic GUI, since this plugin has no own GUI!

[Taron]

I've added program naming, too, which also still loads old presets as far as I can tell. And I've compiled a Windows 32bit version as well...

[nickamandote]

FL Studio seems to remember the settings so looking forward for some FM fun
