linVST and inter plugin communication

[jonetsu]

Anyone got that working ? Some plugins, like Voxendo GlissEQ can export real-time EQ data which is seen by another instance and imported. This is to see two EQ curves from different tracks in real-time in a single instance. The problem is that none of the instances are seeing the exported data, as if they are running in a chroot or something.

That might depend on how Voxengo is doing the transfer and what Wine is doing.

I'll try it out.

Yes, I looked at top and each Windows VST gets a linvst process going on. A single linvst process enabling all VST to communicate natively would surely be nice. I took a quick look at minihost. It seems it has two ins and two outs. Not sure that it would handle plugins on different tracks. Are you using it ?

OTOH, maybe it's the time to take a look at Carla. Seems like a single host, everyone talks about it as a host. Does it enable intercommunication between plugins ?

Cheers.

Still several processes running in the same prefix share the same wineserver specifically to be able to communicate (through the server), probably it's some bug or missing feature that breaks it.

Have you tried launching a global patchbay such as Catia and checking if there are any connections you can do there manually?

Or maybe you can redirect things in/through the inner pipes of a DAW.
