[Qtractor-devel] hexter DSSI plugin not working correctly in qtractor?

[Frank N. <bea...@we...>]

Hi Rui and all,

yesterday I wanted to compare several "DX7" emulating synths for Linux (OxeFM,
Dexed, Hexter) against original DX7 sounds "from YouTube", and noticed that
Hexter wouldn't behave quite well.

I start from an empty qtractor (0.8.0) session, create a MIDI track, instantiate
the Hexter DSSI plugin (version 1.0.3), activate the synth, create my MIDI
connections, and press some keys on a connected keyboard.

The first keypress comes out fine, but after that I sometimes only get a
short sound on key _release_, or no sound at all, except for a full-scale
crackle sound on both press and release. I see no suspicious CPU load spikes
and also no buffer Xruns, but it appears as if a note is cut off immediately
after key press for some reason.

Can someone else test this on his setup and tell me whether it's just me? :-)
Running Hexter in the jack-dssi-host app works fine, by the way.

Thanks,
Frank
