Topic: LV2 plugin cannot be instantiated

Hello everybody,

I try the LV2 plugin with Mixbus6 and Debian. Unfortunately when I want to add the Pianoteq LV2 plugin to my midi track it doesn't work. I get the following error in the logs:

[ERROR]: LV2: Failed to instantiate plugin https://www.modartt.com/lv2/Pianoteq8STAGE

I copied the files to ~/.lv2/Pianoteq8.lv2 (I had to rename the directory because there was a problem with whitespaces in the directory name).

Thanks in advance, Max

Yes, unfortunately, the new LV2 implementation we are using in Pianoteq 8 requires a feature that is only available in Ardour >= 7, sorry about that.

Thank you very much for your fast answer. Do you know whether the lv2 plugin is supported by Mixbus8? If it is, I could update my Mixbus license...

Yes, it loads fine in Mixbus 8.
