The pianoteq_linux_v8xx.7z distribution archive must be downloaded manually.

Got to http://modartt.com/try, log in by clicking on "User area", and when you are logged in, click on "Download the latest version: 8.x.x". Place the file which you can then download next to the PKGBUILD file.

@SpotlightKid Yes, that works. Thanks.

@MrPeacock. Just clone the package, put the archive in the same dir, increase the version number in the PKGBUILD and use updpkgsums to update the checksums. Then makepkg -i.

Alternatively, ask the maintainer to update the package in the comments there or via his contact e-mail.

@SpotlightKid Thanks for replying. I've seen that package, but it does not match the actual version (8.4.0-1 instead of 8.4.1-1).

What is the recommended way to install pianoteq-stage? The file downloadable from Modartt is pianoteq_stage_linux_v841.7z, and simply renaming the file to pianoteq_linux_v841.7z doesn't seem to work.

@chrisco23: if you want to install the trial version, use the pianoteq-standard-trial-bin or pianoteq-stage-trial-bin AUR packages.

Thanks. That got me to the point I can build, once I removed 'trial' from the 7z filename and skipped checksums.

I end up with something called 'Pianoteq 8'.

I tried putting that in both ~/.vst and in ~/.vst3, which are in my Bitwig Studio plug-in location paths, but it still does not show up. I also tried renaming it to something more Arch-like, ie. pianoteq8.vst, pianoteq8.vst3 etc, no luck.

I see no link to mark out-of-date. I have tried also git version and trial version, but everything gives ERROR: pianoteq_linux_v840.7z was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. (or similar for other versions).

The file in the PKGBUILD sets version to "8.4.0" and somehow it looks like that converts to "v840".

This is beyond my PKGBUILD foo. btw, I used pianoteq many years ago, no problem, before I was even on Arch. Also, fyi, know it probably doesn't belong here but I fell down this rabbit hole trying to get Keyscape working in various DAW.
