Search for a term in Zyn

#1

Hi all,
in ZynAddSubFX the “search” function doesn’t work, you can’t write anything in the “search” field. Does it happen to anyone else too?
[Ardour 7.4 on linux]

Thanks,

Amazing, I found that if I run the file:

/usr/bin/zynaddsubfx (application/x-executable)

the Zyn GUI opens and the “Search” function works.
But opening it from inside Ardour, “Search” doesn’t work.

So if for example I want to find all the “Kick” present in Zyn, I have to open the executable from that path and look for it there.

Have you enabled keyboard focus for the plugin? There is a toggle top-right in every plugin window (displays a PC keyboard). By default keyboard events are handled by Ardour.

Yes, but it still doesn’t work.
Since nobody talks about it, I think it’s a problem with my own system.

Odd. It works here with zyn-fusion LV2 plugin.

Are you perhaps using the VST2?

#6

Yes, I use ZynAddSubFX VST2.

#7

Is there a reason for that? Why not use the LV2, which is generally preferable over VST2.

#8

I didn’t know that, I thought the opposite :smiley:
Now I installed the LV2 and as you said it works correctly.
Thank you,
a.

#9

heh.

Ardour’s implementation of LV2 and VST3 are pretty much on par.

VST2 was never officially spec’ed for Linux, it’s a bit of a miracle that it works at all :slight_smile:
