Keyboard input into VeeSeeVST plugin not working in Reaper Linux #31

Open taji opened 3 years ago

taji commented 3 years ago

I'm running into a problem with running VeeSeeVST under Reaper:

Operating system(s): Ubuntu Studio 20.04.1 Host: Reaper 6.18 Version of Rack: veeseevstrack_0_6_1_lin64_bin-24May2019

VeeSeeVST loads fine in Reaper (Native Linux Version) as Linux VST2 plugin. I can add/remove modules. Everything is working except the keyboard input.

1) Right click and the module loader appears but I can't type into the search box. Nothing happens when I hit a key. 2) Load the Formula module. Click on the formula entry field and I see the cursor appear in the text box, but no letters appear when I type. 3) There is an option in Reaper to send all keyboard input to the plugin. I've enabled it and disabled it and neither fixes the problem. 4) Some process-of-elimination I've tried: a) Other native vst plugins are able to accept keyboard input. I've tested Stochas (https://stochas.org/download/) inside Reaper and I can type into it's config fields without issue). b) Keyboard input into VeeSeeVST works fine when running under Carla host.

Thinking the issue may be specific to the interaction between Reaper and VeeSeeVST.

Thanks for you hard work on this very useful plugin. Please let me know if I can help. :-)

Not the same issue, but I often have the experience of having keyboard input suddenly stop working after some time. I believe something I'm doing while it's open triggers it and then I have to reload.

I don't think bsp will update the VST itself, but it would be indeed helpful to know how to prevent these issues, if there's anything to be done about it.
