In all seriousness, the concerns raised for this project to be "truly platform-independent" have some valid points. VSTGUI is alternative to the official Steinberg SDK (which is Windows-only as far as I know).

....what about SDL?

VSTGUI is part of the Steinberg SDK and has a native binding to the VSTSDK (VST plugin interface). Those plugs run on Mac and Windows. So the toolkit is basicly platform independent. It can easyly used for Audio Unit plugins on Mac too (there are even working examples inside the SDK to show how) and for DirectX instruments on Windows. It should be easyly possible to get it running on Linux too. But possibly there will be little code changes neccessary.

This was only for clarification.

I am still waiting for the release to *prove* that! *smile*

As far I've seen yet, there are ports for the AddSyn, the PadSyn and SubSyn on the way...

So probably there is no new Zyn port necsessary???
I've alot of other projects for porting waiting...

you cant tease us like that

i hope you don't give up on this!!!

although i can use your current win port more than i could use any other Zyn so i'm already most grateful!

but a Zyn with a grymm gui that i can automate would ROCK

Let the WINE coders take care of linux 'compatability', if your work is solid on XP, it will be solid in linux-WINE-wineasio. The 'old' linux version will always be fabulous on a modern linux system with realtime kernel. I noticed the virtual keyboard loses track of which notes
are being played sometimes, jumping around randomely, not at startup, but after some misc. usage.
Thanx for sharing your skills!

Could M$oft even do it in 500 megabytes?

So what's the news with this? A bit unclear on what's happening. :S

i was thinking that

all was looking great then it crashed over a vstgui Vs juice debate

well maybe not quite like that but....

as i said in the first page (i think it was page 1)

i'm happy for the updated win version thats much more stable than Beta 5 form 2005,

but i was getting excited about a Grymm GUI & automated parameters

I crossed this one a few years, ago.

Many good musicians simply cannot stay behind a screen all day, simply put. The skills erode; the hands and arms do the same. In addition, most people who are good developers do this stuff all day long, yeah? Personally, I do not believe it's physically or mentally healthy to be doing the mouse/keyboard thing all the time. However, I can certainly appreciate good development- don't get me wrong!

Thanks very much for the links.
I'll see what I can do with the latest version.

Hi people,
i am using ZynAddSubFx ver 2008 (by Matterblue) and no problem here, even with complex sound.
I have done a little "dreaming/meditative vocal track" using 4 instances of ZynAddSubFX, a GTG Vsti for drum part and another synth (buzz machine) Guru3 made by Arguru (R.I.P.).
All sequenced/mastered/recorded with BUZE.
Try at this link http://buzzmusic.mccc.com.ua/index.php?songid=9644.

Ciao.
Paolo BHS.

Nice song, really... the "bass" is made with Zyn or with Guru3?

Anyway, what happens now?

folderol · Post by **folderol** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 6:53 pm

Yes, very nice indeed. I never cease to be amazed at what Zyn can do!

pbhs · Post by **pbhs** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 9:48 am

Thanks for the positive comments.
to Boneless :
the bass is Zynaddsubfx, preset 0003-Bass 3_analog_.xiz (in default preset bank/bass), GURU3 is used only for the typical synt arpeggio sound, the other arpeggio pluck/bells sound is always Zyn .
The great vocal pad is a layers made by me using 3 channels with different preset (Zyn is a monster that can layer 16 channels !!!).

Hi Folderol, some time ago i have downloaded and listened your preset , you have done a good work, thanks.

....
I have post here my composition but sorry if this is not the right place !!
....
Anyone have some news on development ???

Ciao - Paolo BHS
