Installation & Configuration Linux

Same with me. I assume the rest comes in after having purchased a license key?

I have tried this both without a licence key and with.

I had problems initially because I was using an old Wine/Yabridge install. I thought I had removed it, but I had files in different paths.

Without a licence key, it seems to work fine and I can click all of the drums on the drum kit page and they sound.

When I made a donation (now there’s a native Linux version I may actually use it) and installed the code, it seems to work fine and isn’t in demo mode any longer.

This is with Ardour 8.12 on Kubuntu 24.04 with MTPDK-2.1.0-VST-64bit-for-Linux-Wine-FULL

Cheers,

Keith

  • Then I unpacked the BETA3 zipfile and linked the MT-PowerDrumKit.vst directory into ~/.vst3/.
  • I fired up a new Ardour session and ran a plugin scan from the PluginManager window: it found the new plugin fine.
  • I created a MIDI track using that plugin, and was able to hear all the kit pieces, both clicking in the GUI and triggering from my keyboard controller.

Edit: I was is running the official Ardour 8.12 on Debian bookworm.
