Blue Cat's PatchWork, MB-7 Mixer, Axiom And Late Replies Update

[glokraw]

Thanks for the many affordable updates. I could tell even the installer is improved, by watching the terminal output fly past when installing Axiom in linux. It's the best 'linux audio' software out there, even if not part of the master plan

Glad to see that it keeps running well on Linux! I guess you are running it thru WINE?

After wine is installed, a utility called yabridge is used to wrap the windows vsts and creates companion plugins of the same names, with a .so extension, and linux daws like reaper, bitwig, and ardour will scan and load it like a linux vst plugin. For each vst path you wish to use, run a command with a path:

yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/users/VstPlugins
yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/VstPlugins"
yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/Common Files/VST3"

then command

yabridgectl sync
...a bit later, your plugins are all linuxified (all the good ones, at least )

yabridge installs to /home/me/.local/share/yabridge ...then copy that folders content to /usr/bin and it's ready for the above actions. I was using wine-staging V7.4 from winehg.org in a ubuntu spinoff, Bodhi Linux, but it also works in most of the recent distros I've tried. The windows Reaper will also work in wine, using the wineasio utility, without needing the plugin wrapper process. This is setup for use in the AVLinux distro, which is now an official MX Linux derivative, using debian codebase. hahaha I'll forget stuff if I don't write it out sometimes!

This song uses your Acoufiend feedback plugin for a little extra ambience!



Cheers

The free update can be downloaded from the same location as the original full version (link received by email upon purchase).

I love the Blue Cat Audio stuff and appreciate the update but I absolutely hate this update method.

Agree. Would much prefer having an account type of system. I’m always hunting my emails for the right link. Recently, I accidentally overwrote Patchwork2 with Patchwork1.something because I pulled up the wrong email when trying to update. I also really don’t like having to download each format individually (one installer please). Nor do I like how Blue Cat plugins don’t share resources between different formats so you end up with multiple resource folders. I find this inefficient and will see Reaper try to scan that folder for plugins after each PC restart.

They’re terrific plugins but the experience could certainly be improved IMO.

Perhaps the can consider, after all these years, prioriting installers and user accounts. you know, like every other plugin company for the most part. maybe... ?

We are aware that the update and installation experience can be improved (quite a bit). We are slowly getting there, with single installers already available on Mac, and a new page to retrieve all your licenses at once:
