![]() ![]() LinVst3) probably is not the intended scenario. Having a quick look at the Makefile of LinVst3 it seems that each install overwrites whatever version there was previously.īeing able to install multiple versions of the same bridge (i.e. That probably happened because you changed the bridge, which was in use by your VSTs, within Preferences.Ī mismatch is easy to fix: Simply perform an Edit -> Update. If you haven't yet used up the LinVst3-X bridge in Preferences, then you could repurpose that one for selecting your experimental bridge and apply it to your desired VST3 via the Change bridge menu. Then you want to experimentally apply a custom bridge to one of those VST3s. I don't know your exact use case, but let's say you have a bunch of VST3s bridged using the bridge setup via LinVst3 (in Preferences). To be honest I probably assumed that there would be no need to support that use case because most (if not all) people would just use one version (VST2 or VST3) of a VST and resolving a confict here and there would be ok.ĭo you actually have that use case a lot (meaning setting up both versions simultaneously)? Renaming the internal representation of the tracked VST allow to resolve the Conflict state (note: Renaming only affects the symlink in the link folder).īut if there's a VST that has both a VST2 and VST3 version with identical names (apart from file extension) and one adds both of these to LinVstManager, then it will in fact create a conflict initially. ![]() In general there is the Renaming VST for those cases of identically named VSTs. So far the basic idea has been to have a single link folder where all the symlinks to the various bridged VSTs are stored. Afaik those are somewhat of a standard for native plugins (at least u-he installs it's VSTs into those two folders using the provided install script).Īpart from those folders some VSTs installed via package manager are placed into /usr/lib/vst and /usr/lib/vst3. Thanks for the feedback and giving it try! Maybe that is a question best answered by osxmidi. so bridge with the stock lin-vst3-servertrack, or if is possible to have multiple instances of lin-vst3-servertrack installed simultaneously. I ended up messing things up, so all my vst3s were marked "Mismatch".Īs I'm pretty new to the whole vst bridging stuff, its not entirely clear if the you can have a custom. Is there a way to experimentally apply the custom bridge to a single vst? Is there a way to separate the bridges (it seems to generate some naming conflicts when having both vst2s and vst3s of the same plugin).Īlso, as I'm playing around with a custom bridge (built from source). However: Using linvstmanager, there seems to be a single folder for storing all the bridges. My vst2 bridges goes under the ~/.vst/windows-bridged, and my vst2 bridges goes under the ~/.vst3/windows-bridged. Not sure if that is the optimal setup, but I think its kind of a standard if you are building your own vsts (which I'm playing around with), I went with a default config. On the linux side I have my vst organized in two folders. I'm using bitwig and reaper nativly under arch linux (with everything updated to latest rolling releases).Īside: I have built the linvst3 from source (with the flags to enable window size) Many (mainly older) applications won’t even let you install programs to a drive that isn’t C: as they can’t cope with this scenario.First of all thanks for your efforts with linvstmanager, I think it is a very useful tool. Given that most decent plugins allow you to store the sound libraries themselves in a different location. vst3 files are generally quite small, most of mine are in the region of 50MB or so, and much smaller than the sound libraries that come with them, so I really don’t think leaving them on C: is going to cause any bother for most people, unless you have a C: drive that is massively too small for your needs. The way VST2 handled this was a total mess IMO and I’m glad it’s been fixed for VST3. VST3 plugins are executable program code, and as a subdirectory of C:\Program Files\Common Files is where the Microsoft Windows guidelines specify to put (executable) components that are shared between multiple applications, arguably that is where the VST3 plugins themselves should go. ![]()
