Setting to closed, a release with linux vst has been done. It is not
perfect yet but if needed I think we should handle that with other tickets.

Excuse me!

That last posting had some very major flaws in it but it seems you cannot
delete nor edit posts on here - how annoying! The second sentence should've
read:

"This is feature should become the focus of the team for the next release,
mainly because I believe Muse would benefit greatly from being able to
easily utilise Loomer Aspect"

Then I started rambling about vestige versus fst and literally as soon as I
hit 'Add Comment' I realised what a load of tripe I'd just posted as fst
and vestige are only used for emulating Windows VSTs via wine and of course
muse can already do this.

My paragraph on synth1 under A3 vs reaper was to illustrate the huge gain
in performance muse will achieve with being able to run native VSTs versus
wine emulated (dssi-vst) ones and then I was recommending you look at the
NATIVE VST code of falktx's Carla plugin host (part of his Cadence repo) or
A3's native VST code as both these seem to work better than qtractors
unfortunately.

Last night I emailed Mike @ LinuxDSP to tell him how impressed with muse I
am and, seeing as he added LinuxVST support to A3, asking if he might
consider doing the same for muse as I've explained its lack of support for
this is the primary showstopper for me.

Has any progress been made on adding native VST support?

This is feature should become the focus of the team for the next release,
mainly because I believe Muse would benefit greatly from being able to
easily utilise, which after 2 weeks solid research I deduced is the only
pro quality synth currently available under Linux.

I could probably use Aspect under Muse by running aspect under carla then
chaining the two with a session manager but I try to avoid session managers
so I'll be sticking with qtractor until muse gains LinuxVST support.

I conducted tests with the synth1 Windows VST plugin using Ardour 3's wine
VST compat and I could run over twice as many instances of synth1 under
real windows XP/reaper than I could under A3 using wine VSTs.

We can surely benefit from all the great work done by falktx with both his
carla plugin host and the VST support he added to Openoctave. I would
recommend fst over vestige because I have a slight GUI prob running Aspect
under qtractor (vestige) that isn't present under the fst-based carla.
