of course. so tracked down all dependencies and got IntroJucer built for debian, Could you remind me – How do I use IntroJucer along with the downloaded zip of ctrlr’s source from github to compile a ctrlr standalone and vst/so

Thanks!

Hey Atom,
on this note.. I have a user who wants a binary that will work on debian jessie x64. I have not been able to compile or install either IntroJucer or Ctrlr, To be honest I feel a bit at a loss when going about this – it’s been a LONG time for me – what’s the protocal?
–Install introJucer (how? – i downloaded the library via github but then what after extracting? I see JUCE/extras/Introjucer/Builds, JuceLibraryCode, Source and Introjucer.jucer)
–Use introJucer to compile a binary of (ctrlr?) (my panel within ctrlr?)

I’m stuck getting IntroJucer compiled/installed, here’s what I get:

root@paraHP:/home/rob/JUCE/extras/Introjucer/Builds/Linux# chmod +x Makefile 
root@paraHP:/home/rob/JUCE/extras/Introjucer/Builds/Linux# ./Makefile 
./Makefile: line 3: $\r: command not found
./Makefile: command substitution: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token )
/Makefile: command substitution: line 6: if $(word 2, $(TARGET_ARCH)), , -MMD)
./Makefile: line 6: $\r: command not found
./Makefile: line 7: ifndef: command not found
./Makefile: line 9: $endif\r: command not found
./Makefile: line 10: $\r: command not found
./Makefile: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token $(CONFIG),Debug
'/Makefile: line 11: ifeq ($(CONFIG),Debug)
root@paraHP:/home/rob/JUCE/extras/Introjucer/Builds/Linux# 

I hope all is well, I’ve been away for a while, My wife is having a kid in… well.. any day now!!

Cheers,
Rob

“but due to lack of support for some other features”
what exactly does this mean? I don’t have to tell you how anxious I am for this to be working! Thanks atom!

I thought about this too, but wouldn’t you need to disable the MIDI ports of the synth in the DAW in order to allow it to be available to the VST this “syses recorder” panel resides? that would make it somewhat moot 🙂

With all due respect to the OP, this in my opinion should be put *much further* down the list of priorities than functionality develpment.. Like getting snapshots and the program manager working. Right now there are many ways to go about creating custom looks for knobs and buttons. Get jknobman. There are thousands of knobs you can download and customize fot it.

I’m getting this same thing on regular ubuntu 14.04, screenshot is from ubuntu studio.
Synaptic seems to infer I have libbfd 2.24
A find with the syntax you supplied seems to not be able to find libbfd installed, (although not pictured, even w/o the /usr location specification.)

As you can see I have binutils-dev and binutils-multiarch-dev installed.

Well if you are missing some .SO libraries you need them, in this case it’s the binutils-dev package i think.

Thats what I thought also – both binutils and binutils-dev are installed … Still getting error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.22-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
on both the regular ubuntu 14.04 and ubuntu studio 14.04 partition.

Is the Juce plugin host loading the linux plugin as a linuxVST, DSSI, LV2? Which is the Ctrlr VST.so supposed to loaded as? incidentally on the same ubuntu 14.04 x64 linux partition I’m not able to launch the stand-alone from the 5.2.75 package. I’m getting “error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.22-system.so: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory”

This is a relatively fresh 14.04 install with nothing else but bitwig, Jack, JackRack, LV2 rack, Ardour and LMMS installed… I’ll give ubuntu studio 14.04 x64 a spin . . .

Ok. I tried ardour, renoise and lms, no love.

Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen

[msepsis]

nope, no love. At least not in bitwig – I reported this issue to their forum a while back when running the previous version 1.0.10 (just upated to 1.0.11)

From the report in terminal it seemed like an issue where bitwig was trying to run the 64 bit plugin within a 32 bit pluginhost. According to bitwig – it is but only after the plugin fails within the 64 bit plugin host.

Previously it was failing in the 64bit host w/ an “undefined symbol error”

The AU from the most recent mac ctrlr build I tried also did not work in logic pro. It shows up, can load, you can set up the MIDI IN/OUT Thru and plugin options and get action out of it but nothing was automatable.

There were some other problems as well Atom was working on it…

Atom? What is the status on this now? just curious.

Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen

ah you replied.. weird it still says “awaiting reply” so i missed it.

Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen

[msepsis]

Hmm. Could you perchance move the “Panel” and “Programs” main menu items to the right of “Help” so the extra space is unperceivable?

Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen

[msepsis]

it sounds like an issue with the JX8P panel, or possibly a version control issue – I’d check the description of the panel and if possible use the version of ctrlr the panel was saved with

Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen

[msepsis]

confused by your terminology – when you say “MIDI track” do you mean virtual instrument track on which a ctrlr VST instance is loaded?

When you say “using more than one device” do you really mean using more than one instance of ctrlr?

What DAW are you using?

The MIDI device that sends to your ctrlr instance is set within the “MIDI” menu under input device. Besides that it’s hard to help you out as I believe you’re interchanging terms that mean things different from what it seems you think they do 🙂

Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen

[msepsis]

perfect. of course there are bigger priorities just wanted to put this out there. thanks as always.

There can be some Carbon issue here. If DP is using some OLD (archaic) carbon based plugins it might see only the embedded name for Ctrlr (it’s in the RSRC file that i can’t really re-create, since it’s a compiled binary format built using the Rez utility).

Well according to http://www.motu.com/products/software/dp/:
100% Cocoa UI for Mac OS X
Goodbye Carbon, Hello Cocoa

Many of the third-party plug-ins you’ll use everyday with Digital Performer are in the process of being converted from Carbon to Mac OS X’s ultra-modern Cocoa UI platform, and Digital Performer is 100% ready to host them. Cocoa is the future, and Digital Performer is there.

I did a quick test, it’s kinda weird but in the end it seems
uiLabelFont=”fontName;14;0;0;0;0;1;0″ = using system font “fontName”
uiLabelFont=”fontName;14;0;0;0;0;1;1″ = using imported font “fontName”

It’s weird – at least on a mac if you have the font installed on your system, then you import it as a resource to a panel – it seems even if you select the font from the “Imported Fonts” section of the font list, when you go check again it will have been reset to the installed instance of that font. I found that you literally have to remove the font from your system in order to properly select an imported instance font otherwise the reference to the imported instance gets reset.
