Proteus VX scans OK, but standalone only works in DirectSound
EDIT: I got the plugin version working with LinVst!(what a great tool that is!!!)
Then I just had to initialize the soundbank from the files menu options -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this was one of the duhhh days, but the standalone issue still exists. Previously, ...I tried Proteus VX in Reaper 5.x and 6.x and it would not scan, whether installed in Program Files or the x(86) path...tried in wine-staging 5 stable, and 5.10. (edit: After linux linvst wrapped the plugin, the .so scanned fine, and the basic functions seem alive.) The standalone still has issues. I ran the standalone to activate the soundbank, but I get no sound when using wineasio, while the meters show sound is being generated...and all other standalones are working with wineasio, like K6, Pigments, Reaktor, Yoshimi etc If I select DirectSound in prefs, VX works fine, but with massive llllllllatencyyyy Anybody using this standalone successfully?

The sound library must be initialized, the file is:
/home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Creative Professional/E-MU Sound Central/Proteus X Composer v2.0.1.exb Use the File menu to do this. To see the (long) list of presets, click the 'Sampler' buttom on the bottom left. Choosing a new sound takes you to it's edit page, to return to the VX front page, click on the 'Proteus VX Vsti' text button on the upper left. Lots for the sonic tourist to do, with some spare hours to play... Cheers |

See if you can create a new project, add a Proteus VX, dial up any sound and save the project. Then, does the project open, or does it blow with a windows exception error?
The song I recently did using nothing but Windows VSTi plugins had a track with Proteus VX and it appeared to work, but the next time I tried to load the project, it would blow up. So I did a project with nothing but an instance of Proteus VX and it exhibited the same Windows exception. I am running a pretty old copy of LinVST because, other than this it's not broke enough for me to fix it. I ended up recovering that project, adding Proteus VX and immediately freezing the track and nuking Proteus so my project would load next time. Maybe this is fixed in later versions of LinVST, or maybe some other wine tweak is needed, but the symptom I see is that I can load Proteus VX from scratch and everything is okay, but a saved project trying to load it blows up. |

I discovered that when saving a project, proteus opens a tiny window
behind reaper, mentioning 'The sample content has been changed, do you want to save it?' I answered 'no', and quit Reaper. Restarted, and the project loaded. Then made a new project, clicked to save it, scooted 3 windows out of the way, and found the postage-stamp size window again, answered 'no' again, and the new project loaded when I next started Reaper. Using linvst 2.82 Ubuntu Studio 19.10 wine-staging 5.10 Reaper 5.987 Hope that helps in your case. Cheers Last edited by 4duhwinnn; 08-02-2020 at 06:32 PM. Reason: mow |

I did have a size limit when saving projects in the earlier versions that I thought would be ok but changed it to unlimited because of occasional problems with some projects. I can't remember when I changed it but it was probably after the 2.3.1 version, maybe around 2.5. |

Last time I updated I got things screwed up with version mismatch errors, and it took a bit to sort out, so I'm hesitant to screw up what currently works fine for Kontakt, Piano Essentials, and Superior Drummer, which are about the only Windows VSTi plugins I really use any more. |

Stress takes years off our lives. I sleep better and drive safer knowing I have multiple working setups, so one can always be for experiments. We have a recycler with plenty of cheap but useful drives. I put wine-staging 5.14 on one, and will be 'doing the drill' with Korg, Reason Rack, ilock-Manager Izotope MissManager, Cakewalk By Bandlab etc etc shortly.
Yes, what ain't broke sure don't need fixin', especially the complicated stuff. Cheers |
