Ardour can no longer see Kontakt plugin after update to yabridge 4.0

Cleinias · July 7, 2022, 3:57pm

I have several projects that use the Kontakt plugin running under yabridge/wine on Linux/Arch. Everything worked pretty well until I upgraded yabridge to version 4. This version has changed the way plugins are loaded and keeps the .so libraries them in a different location (i.e, ~/.vst/yabridge).
I followed the instruction from yabridge’s developer and changed the overall setup. Tested it with carla and verified that the plugin can be loaded and used correctly.

I then proceeded to update Ardour’s configuration as well, and added the new path. However, Ardour can no longer see it. Here is the log that plugin manager reports after the failed scan:

Hi,

Do you still have the old ‘.so’ files for the Windows VST’s in the VST folder itself? You might want want to try running:

yabridgectl sync --prune

to ensure any so file remnants aren’t in your VST folder

Cleinias · July 7, 2022, 11:28pm

I had run yabridge sync --prune and a quick check shows that indeed I do not have any old .so file. The only Kontakt.so on my system is in ~/.vst/yabridge

lorin-punch-up-art · July 8, 2022, 3:43pm

Hi,
I recommend the following:

In Ardour, edit the VST path. Replace the expression “~/.vst/yabridge” with the full path. For example, ‘/home/MY_USER_NAME/.vst/yabridge’ .

Typically you can find the full path by the following line commands (logged in with your linux user account, not root or some other account):

$ cd $HOME
$ cd .vst/yabridge
$ pwd

…
Use the result of pwd to make you edit in Ardour’s VST path. Note! I don’t use VST plugins, you may need to request Ardour rescan the new VST path ( after the edit ).

Hope that helps
Lorin

Thanks for the tip, but I had actually entered the path through Ardour’s file selection pop-up—so it’s already the full path.

The dev maintains a discord server, that’s probably the place where you might find help fast: yabridge

This may mean little but I had the same issue with midi guitar once. Re registered it and it worked… does it show up in the vsts-plugins with errors?
