Decent Sampler crashes Ardour

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Hi all,

First time posting here, so hope I got the right category!

Ardour Version is Ardour6.9.0~ds0 (built using 6.9.0~ds0-1build1 and GCC version 11.2.0)

Decent Sampler version is Decent_Sampler-1.5.20-Linux-x86_64

The Decent Sampler standalone UI works perfectly well, however if I try and add Decent Sampler as a VST3 instrument it immediately segfaults when I try to add a track using Decent Sampler.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!

Just to add more detail on this - I’ve tried loading the VST into Reaper on the same Linux setup and it works fine, so this is definitely an Ardour thing.

#3

Hi,
I guess, the developers would appreciate if you could post that bug here https://tracker.ardour.org
/rs

#4

That looks like the DecentSampler plugin is using quite a few system libraries. Plugins should be statically compiled so that there are no conflicts between the libraries the plugin uses and the libraries that Ardour uses. If you compile ardour and the plugin yourself on the same system there should not be conflicts, but other than that it is always risky for a plugin to rely on any external code.

#5

OK, thanks, makes sense.

Is it still worth logging this on the tracker?

#6

I would start with the Decent Sampler developer and see if the suspicion about not being statically linked is correct and go from there.
