ToneLib GFX VST for Linux

Yes!!! It works thanks for the quick response. It is a great tool!

 

I'm bringing this up again, Tonelib works as a plugin only with the version 3.8.0. With any newer versions I've tried, Ardour cannot find it as a plugin.

 

Greetings to all. I see that ToneLib 4.6.6 works perfectly as a Linux-VST plugin in Ardour 6.8.0 64-bit in Linux Mint.. If it does not appear in the list of plugins, simply copy the plugin to a folder where you save your plugins for Ardour. Great job for Linux. Thank you ToneLib.

 

Working well with Debian using Mixbus/Ardour and Bitwig. Thank you.

 

Hey everyone!

Reviving this post here for those who come to it looking to get this amazing program and plugin working with fedora, which is a non debian based distro.

To get it working, I used a combination of 3 programs that you can install with dnf:

- sudo dnf install alien rpm-build rpmrebuild

Then, you will basically convert the .deb package to a .rpm one, then fix a small thing on it using rpmrebuild:

1. run `sudo alien --to-rpm <path to the .deb file>`
2. run `rpmrebuild -pe <path to the generated rpm file>`
3. this will open up a text file with the contents of the rpm package. look for lines containing *just* the paths `/usr`, `/usr/lib` and `/usr/bin`. Delete these lines, save and exit the editor. this will generate an updated rpm file on `~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64`
4. install the rpm package with `sudo dnf install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/<file.rpm>`

this will make both the standalone ToneLib-GFX program available on your path and the vst plugin available on `/usr/lib/vst`. If your DAW doesn't pick up this vst path automatically you will have to add it to it's configuration. In my case, using reaper, I have to do the following:

1. Go to options>preferences>Plug-Ins>VST
2. Click on `Edit path list>Add path`
3. add `/usr/lib/vst` path
