Multitimbral VSTi support
11 November, 2008 - 21:43 — nobody (not verified)
I've managed to build Juce's VST demo plugin today, so I will probably release some plugins in the near future just for fun. But this led me to ponder how Qtractor supports multitimbral VSTi plugins?
It would be great if it was possible to insert them into a MIDI output bus.
An esoteric work around until then would be to create an additional MIDI input bus; add a MIDI track set to "omni" using the new MIDI input bus; insert the multitimbral plugin into the new MIDI track; connect the Master MIDI output bus to the new MIDI input bus. But will the plugin recieve MIDI messages with the channel instact or will they have been filtered?

Re: Multitimbral VSTi support
Uhoh, there's no support for multi-timbral instrument plugins. You can load them alright but I'm afraid Qtractor model still mandates one track, one channel, one plugin as a rule. That is to say that all other instrument plugin channels are simply wasted.
However, the hint about multi-timbral plugins on the MIDI output bus sparked something on this side ;) Indeed... something to think about, thanks.
Cheers
Yes, having multitimbral
Yes, having multitimbral plugs on the MIDI buses would be great.
Re: Multitimbral plugins support
There's good news on todays CVS HEAD (qtractor-0.2.2.1150+):
All MIDI buses may now have plugins inserted so that those multi-timbral synth/sampler plugins get driven to their fullness. Alas, this codepath is still in its infancy, experimental though. Eearly adopters highly appreciated :)
Cheers.
Great! I will try it out.

Just to let everyone know
Just to let everyone know that there's now a VSTi version of LinuxSampler that can be compiled as Native Linux VST and used in Qtractor (but you still have to use QSampler or Fantasia as front-end).
VSTi Linuxsampler?
I went to the linuxsampler.org site and could not find any reference to the VSTi version. Where is this VSTi version available. I'd love to try it. Perhaps in the latest CVS?
or...
is this now part of QSampler?

Re: VSTi Linuxsampler?
It is NOT part of Qsampler. I guess you'll have to build it from linuxsampler.org CVS all the way, but better ask on VSTi status topic, at the LS forum.
Cheers
