Synth1 soundbank invisible

[bulevardi]

Hi all,

When I open Synth1 in LMMS, and I open the presets (sound banks), I always get them transparent:




I cannot see the names and so... already tried different ways without any luck.

Anyone else had this issue too?

I'm using Linux Mint, latest version.
And I downloaded the lmms 1.2 beta version (.AppImage) which I just ran....
(not the lmms version via the software manager, because there I don't have Vestige)

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here... Or should I install synth1 some (other) way?

Maybe I should install the DSSI-VST in order to run other windows VST's, like discribed here:
(http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/996)
But don't know how it works ... needs to be downloaded/installed with github, no experience with github or how to work with that (https://github.com/falkTX/dssi-vst)

I don't know the reason for this special behavior, but the windows not-emulator wine can be a bottleneck. Which version number of wine is installed? I believe that Mint standard repositories still stick on wine 1.6 or 1.7. With this one I had also problems (Ubuntu 16.04). I got only a few VSTis running on it.

An easy way should be installing the recent version of wine (3.0) from wineHQ (https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu, follow the instructions for Mint). With this one I got lots of VSTis running. Hope it will help you too.

I had the wine1.6 installed.
Removed it and replaced by the WineHQ 3.0 stable version.

Still the same problem.



However, other vst's run, like the DSK ones...

Tried to setup Carla aswel, but it's not even showing the possibility for the carla-discovery-win32/64 option to load win VST's.

In Synth1 I can change the colors in the 'opt' menu, and set the transparancy of the window. Works perfect.
However, the text is still invisible.

There's aswel a button "update readme.txt". Don't know if that can be important for something?

[bulevardi]

Ok, I have the exact same problem in Reaper daw (via wine), so the problem is not by LMMS.

Tried to reïnstall Synth1, same problem.
Downloaded Synth1 again via the original source, installed through wine and get error message: "The file settings.ini is missing".
Don't know where I can get that file, isn't found in my previous backup synth1 folders neither. hmmm

The problem is caused because you dont have microsoft fonts installed, to solve this you can run

Code: Select all

winetricks corefonts

or, if that fails,

Code: Select all

winetricks allfonts

.
After you install the fonts, restart LMMS and the text should no longer be invisible.

Thank you for that headup to help Linux-users with Synth1!
