Decent Sampler not showing

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#1

I was trying to use Decent Sampler, but it won’t load in Ardour.

Is it a problem with library conflicts again?

Try a https://nightly.ardour.org/ build.

This is believed to be fixed when using the latest version of DecentSampler (which dynamically loads libcurl.so) and recent Ardour (which includes a symlink libcurl.so → libcurl.so.4).

#3

If I need to back to the previous version, the file format will not be changed, correct?

P.S.: It does work with the nigthtly version! Thanks!

#4

Correct Ardour 6.5 can load 6.6 session.

The session format only changes with major versions. Earlier versions of Ardour 6 can also load it if you didn’t use VST3 plugins (those were new in 6.5).
