VST plugins not showing up on Linux

Open DaVince opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I have compiled this from source on Linux on the latest head revision. I have installed a few different plugins, including the synister64.dll VST shown in the readme. When pointing zytrax to the directory containing these VSTs, zytrax is not able to detect them and will only detect the default 22 effects.

Since VST's are treated like libraries, the proper extension for Linux VST's is .so

I'd likely suggest trying a plugin from Distrho or the Surge synthesizer, and see if their linux plugins will work for you.

Oh, that makes a lot more sense. I had mistakenly thought VSTs are Windows-only and that the software would have some Wine-like integration.

I'll track down some .so versions. It would still be nice if a warning was shown in a case like this.
