Topic: Musescore 4 - VST3

Hi

Musescore 4 will support directly VST3 plugins.
With a nightly build ( this is not even an alpha version ), this does  work in Windows (the gui is not scaling, but at least the score is playing)

It seems that the Linux VST is VST2, which does not work.
Will you in the future provide a VST3 version for Linux?

thx
Diego

Re: Musescore 4 - VST3

On this page:

https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/musescore-nightlies/

(choose Musescore 4 - nightly . The 'beta' is very old and not functional.

No plans for a Linux vst3 then?

Re: Musescore 4 - VST3

So, MuseScore v4.6 will finally have official support for Linux vst3. (there was already an unofficial Linux build with vst3)
Pianoteq for Linux is lv2 or vst2. No vst3.
I still need to run Pianoteq for Windows under Wine/yabridge in Musescore Linux.
Would you consider building a native vst3 for Linux?

Thanks

That would be awesome. Even if I am not a fan of VST3.

Re: Musescore 4 - VST3

Having native VST support is awesome! I've not had much luck using Pianoteq w/ MuseScore w/ VST (or in the past, the external MIDI out) because, at least for me, the sustain release that MuseScore sends seem to be too quick for Pianoteq—it ends up just sounding like the pedal is being kept down. You can mitigate this a little bit by adjusting the pedal markings to release an eighth note earlier to give the pedal time to return, but I keep hoping there would be some way to set MuseScore up to send a more natural pedal signal in the first place.

Or maybe this is just me and no one else has encountered such problems?
