[PD] Problem running VST~ object

[Dave Payling]

Hi Pat

That sounds a good idea. I feel quite new to the MIDI side of PD especially this really useful VST~ object. I've been using plugins quite extensively in Cubase etc. but am excited about interacting with them through PD. I think my main priority will be to start working on some compositional techniques in PD. I've just been experimenting with a simple Markov Chain, but I'm not sure if I have it working correctly yet. I was using a standard Yamaha XG MIDI card but now I should be able to get more timbral variety using plugins.

Your website looks very interesting and all the other stuff there. Lots to explore.

Dave

  Dave You may do better to put the VST_PATH in your autoexec.bat file
  that way you will just have to load the plugin~ or vst~ object 
  i would love to share some patches using VST with you if you care to.
  I have some neat ones with Richard Dobson's Pv plugs and the newer ether and shapee plugins
  Also i have made one with northpole which is rather nice too
  cheers

    Hi

    I cannot get the VST~ object to work on my machine. Whenever I put a VST~ object in a new canvas it crashes.

    I have set the path to search my VST plugin folder by adding the 'set VST_PATH....' in a batch file I use to run PD, is this the correct place to put it?

    I have also tried variations on the path command by using '\' instead of  '/' but with the same result.

    Here is my .bat file...

      pd -lib ../vst/Release/vst -noadc -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 1 set VST_PATH=D:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins

    and here is the command line readout after I run it...

      VST host  by mark williamson
      contains source code from Psycle tracker
      Contact: mark at junklight.com  . website: http://www.junklight.com
      VSTLib: version: 0.1
      VSTLib compiled: May 7 2002

      open: No such file or directory
      No such file or directory
      open: No such file or directory
      No such file or directory

    The 'no such file or directory' error only occurs when I include the set VST_PATH command, but the path is definitely correct.

    Any help please?

    Thanks in advance

    Dave
