Surge fails in qtractor linux #545
Comments
Thanks Dave! We had another report of QTractor so something is definitely up there. And I didn't know Rack even had a VST host yet! How cool? (I have a small set of rack plugins I wrote 6 months ago). This is very useful. Did any of them give any odd looking error messages or stack traces? And appreciate the thanks! |
@baconpaul I suspected you were the same fellow who did the plugins ! :) The Rack VST Host module is a commercial offering from Andrew Belt, it works very well with most of the plugins I've tried, including the u-he synths. QTractor kicks out quite a nice stack trace, I've posted it at https://pastebin.com/rdrwiWv4. I also used the Bitwig plugin host to test it, got the same results as other users have reported:
So no new news there, I guess, but at least it verifies what others have found. |
Just FYI: We fixed bitwig yesterday as well as a variety of other problems. |
Hey @tank-trax if you get a chance in the next week or two, can you check a couple of these hosts with 1.6.1.1 and see if we are any closer? I think QTractor still blows out; and I run Carla regularly (from the repo); but taking a look at Ardour would be great if you can. |
Qtractor still explodes when loaded. Ardour's stable release is 5. Ardour 6 is still in development. I tested Surge in Ardour 6 and it loads without issue. The only host that it has problems with in Linux as far as I know is Qtractor. All others work perfectly. To my understanding the issues in this ticket (apart from Qtractor) have been resolved many builds ago. |
Thanks! I will rename to qtractor fails then |
there is an issue with the new SCL feature and Waveform 10 also Surge will freeze Waveform if one of the patches that can't load is selected -> related to #924 |
I wish linux was a desktop OS. Sigh. Well thanks for the report! I know the problem with #924 but no idea what's here. Maybe zenity has an --ontop option or something. I'll look. |
https://askubuntu.com/questions/197099/zenity-window-on-top look at that insane answer. |
I almost posted a sigh earlier |
it doesn't happen in Carla, Renoise or Reaper, so far only in Waveform |
also, Zenity is not working in Ardour or Mixbus (which is based on Ardour) |
@tank-trax hey I think JP’s fix where he increased the buffers fixes this issue; can you if you have a moment check a recent surge in qtractor and if it works close this issue for us? Zero rush of course! Thanks! |
The Zenity menus work in Ardour now. however the same issue with Waveform and Zenity layers persists, but will close this issue as Surge VST2 in qtractor loads fine. |
Thanks! |

Greetings ! Just a quick report on the deployment of Surge on my system. I build the synth from the latest git codebase and can test it in a variety of DAWs. What I've got so far:
QTractor (latest) - Surge is found by the program but QTractor crashes when it tries to load the plugin.
Ardour6 (beta) - Plugin not found.
Carla (latest) - Plugin loads but sound is nothing but clicks and pops.
VCV Rack (v0.6.2c) - Plugin loads via Host module and works perfectly there.
Please note that I build all these programs from source, so they're probably not the versions that most users have. Other users on the Linux Musicians forum have reported success with Carla but I think they're using the version in falkTx's repos.
Anyway, vast thanks to all the developers involved in this project, keep up the fine work !
