Airwave - yet another WINE VST bridge for Linux (April 12 update)

[Taika-Kim]

Ah, great, I´m very new to Linux

[StudioDave]

Greetings,

This morning I updated my builds for Airwave and Ardour4. Nice to see that GUIs for Airwave'd VSTs are now displayed correctly.



Best,

dp

Where do we go to dl it? I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm interested to see which VST's I can get working on here! Hopefully all.

ckam03: you can download a pre-built package for Ubuntu here: https://github.com/phantom-code/airwave ... /tag/1.3.2

Has anyone gotten any Plugin Alliance plugins running?

Hi everyone, I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 amd64, bitwig 1.3.12, wine 1.8 ( set prefix to 32 bit) and successfully compiling airwave 1.3.2.

After that, I install Sylenth1 2.2.1 (I think it's 32, cause it's installed on program files x86, bit in bitwig it's appear as Arch : 64 bit) , started bitwig, run sylenth1 ----> airwave-host-32.exe crashed, clicked more detail and this is the error messages:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x7b8b7000 in 32-bit code (0x10087f48).

What's wrong?? I think it's architecture related issues?

Hi re23071998!
Sylenth1 2.xx doesn't work with WINE. You need to use the latest Sylenth1 3.xx.

Another problem on me, not Airwave problem actually.
How you can install Nexus?

I've tried to install Nexus, but when I open the Nexus Setup, I got this error:
Cannot Import DLL:C:\user\myuser\temp\is-j6VLK.tmp\isskin.dll

When I check the file, it's available in the right place

I know my English isn't good :v

[psycha0s]

I didn't test Nexus myself, it's too expensive. Moreover, as far as I know it has a protection based on a USB dongle. I'm unsure whether it is compatible with wine, but I have a report that Nexus works with airwave.

[re23071998]

who is that?

edit: I think it can be solved by "winetricks vcrun6sp6" in terminal

Hi phantom_one,

First of all thanks you so much for your work on Airwave, it is a really great tool!
However I'm having an hard time making Xfer Serum work in Bitwig Studio.
Looking at the GitHub page it seem possible, if somebody have any tips I'll appreciate them!
Here's what I've tried so far:

Try #1:
I've added a d2d1.dll override in winecfg using the d2d1.dll file refered in the GitHub page.(3e0a1bf9e17349a8392455845721f92f). This resulted in a glitchy ui were all the tabs were drawing themselves at the same time.


Try #2:
I've seen an update in the repository that made a reference to 'winecfg gdiplus'. I've removed my d2d1.dll override and run the command. This created a *gdiplus override in winecfg. However in Bitwig, running Serum resulted in a blank screen.


Try #3:
Trying to resolve the blank screen issue, I've compiled wine-1.7.52 with the patch refered in the repository.
I've configured wine with a prefix in my home directory as I didn't want to affect the whole system.

Code: Select all (#)

cd ~/dev/cpp/wine-1.7.52
./configure --prefix=~/.wine_custom
make
make install

I've then set a new WINE loader in the airwave-manager and refreshed all links.
However when opening Bitwig it seem to load vsts indefinitely.


I've tried setting the logging to 'flood' but got nothing worth.

Code: Select all (#)

Do you have any idea what I might doing wrong? I'm starting to run out of options.
I'm using airwave 1.3.2 with Bitwig Studio 1.3.12 on Arch Linux 4.7.0-1.

Thanks!

sigmao, thank you for an amazing description of your issue. I need a time to check it by myself. At this moment it looks like the tip with gdiplus is wrong.

[psycha0s]

Sorry for the delay, I have a lack of a free time these days. I've finally tested the latest Serum demo on my system and it works well. I have only two issues:
a window with invisible text wich appears when I open Serum's window
and constantly hanging tooltips.


I use 32-bit wine prefix with replaced ${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/windows/system32/d2d1.dll (md5sum: 3e0a1bf9e17349a8392455845721f92f) and patched wine-staging.
I'm attaching my PKGBUILD which I use to build wine-staging, hope it can be useful for you.
Also, you can just grab an already built package from here.

If you will use my package, please note that its name is wine-staging and can be easily replaced by a new version from the Arch Linux repository. Just add

Code: Select all

IgnoreGroup = custom

to your /etc/pacman.conf to prevent this.

Hi phantom-one,

Thank you so much for testing and providing additional infos, this help!
I'm still having issues with cross-compiling wine with gstreamer.
However I'm crossing fingers that once I'm done with it I'll have a working Serum setup.
I'll keep you informed when I'll succeed.

Hi again!

Finally succeeded in building wine-staging (was missing lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs).
I can confirm that with the patched wine-staging everything works!!
I'm ecstatic on using serum again, thank you so much for the help!
