Just bought it boxed and it works like a charm!

I'd like to have a status about the linux VST port. As a linux Renoise user I'm totally for it (it'd definitely make me purchase that wonderful piece of software).

Any release data?

Thanks
Nil

I just learned about the new Pianoteq Play. This is great to have a more affordable version. I was just wondering if there will be a Linux version for that as well. I was thinking of buying the boxed version from one of the online retailers here in the USA and thought I'd double check if the boxed version will  have Linux support.

Thanks again Modratt for this AMAZING piece of software.

For French and Mandriva linux users, i just point some ressources :

French People could find help here :
-> http://wiki.mandriva.com/fr/ProAudio

On linux-mao too ... http://www.linuxmao.org/tikiwiki/tiki-i...e=Mandriva (old page at http://www.linuxmao.org/tikiwiki/tiki-i...age=Oldmdv )

Last, french people could discut about PIANOTEQ on Mandriva Forum. ( http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=114750 for example, or create new topic).

I am user of (massive) RedHat at works, Fedora on laptop, and Mandriva for stable personnal workstation. I recommand Mandriva for all new linux people !

Best regards

I use Slackware 12.2 with a home-rolled real-time kernel (2.6.29)
I just installed the full version after a couple of weeks of the trial version.

I've been using Sampletekk samples and LinuxSampler up to now.  The
comparison with Sampletekk's Black Grand and C3 is interesting.

I'm only getting 11.6 ms latency - I could probably improve that with some
tinkering, but it sounds fine to me

I have jack running at 32 frames x 3 periods @ 48k and it seems stable.
Anyways big thanks to the devs for great port.

I suggest deciding between native VST and LV2. You may want to contact JOST developer Lucio Asnaghi about his work converting VSTs to native Linux .so versions

Yes, right, I should have mentionned Jost as I have discussed with Lucio a few times on the Juce forum I think for now, the only realistic option is a VST version. If the clean-room reverse engineered VST spec mentioned in an earlier port works well, some other open-source hosts may also choose to support native vst ?

I'm using the Linux version of Pianoteq on Fedora 10 with the PlanetCCRMA rt-kernel. It's working great.

But now, using wine, I also installed the Windows VST plugin on my Linux box. And I have installed the dssi-vst wrapper package. It works like a charm (which cannot be said for all VST plugins I have tried with dssi-vst).

On my Linux box I can now use Pianotech as a standalone instrument, but also have it available for example inside the Rosegarden sequencer with the look and feel of a native DSSI plugin.

I don't have/use any apps that support native Linux VST, and am quite happy with this dssi-vst solution.

!! killing thread by force !!

we have released a 3.0.4 update that should fix that issue.

(…) I'm using Pianoteq on Fedora 10 with the real-time kernel from PlanetCCRMA. Runs perfectly.

Any other other Linux flavours around here ?

Arch Linux with standard kernel (2.6.29) here. :-)

Ubuntu (Studio) seems to be quite popular among Pianoteq-on-Linux users here, reading this thread.
