Then I used RunVST to build GUI-less Tranzistow/Diodow VST plugin which could be loaded into a host without crashing.Īfter loading, the plugin executes the standalone Tranzistow/Diodow and uses interprocess communication to send the data between them. So, a few years back, I was trying to find alternate solution to overcome this issue (because changing my development environment and rewritting everything for something else isn't an option).Īs a result, I developed an "RunVST" engine which was stripped of any widget toolkit (like GTK2).
They are loading just fine into my Hrastow simple VST host, though. Something about the GTK2 interface inside those libaries is causing VST builds to crash when loaded into a 3rd-party hosts, and I couldn't found the cause.
Tranzistow and Diodow 32/64-bit Linux VST plugins now available!Ī few words about the background: Full GUI Linux VST versions of Tranzistow and Diodow aren't possible due to some technical problems caused by the development environment I am using (Free Pascal and Lazarus). I don't need no hardware or any other synthesizer anymore. I cannot describe how happy I am because now I can do everything I ever dreamt of. This is the final stage of my EM/DSP work because I am now able to create complete tracks on my Tranzistow synthesizer alone, from sound synthesis to effects, with everything playing in realtime and all channels controlled over MIDI from my KalquLab sequencer.Įxcept a few field recordings I made during the years (lightning, rain, birds, water, forest, etc., played/processed thru Tranzistow engine, of course), all sounds are synthesized by myself on Tranzistow only, including drums and percussions, and there are no samples used. My "Tranzistow 2020-2021" album is finished: Some kind of Blog, more or less, sorted in chronological order, but without exact date and time. Note: This is a page with various random/everyday bits & pieces which cannot be classified under other sections, so I can talk about everything what came to my mind during a day (or night), while working on other things.
