Ok, I drilled down to the root cause of the issue with the gmsynth.lv2 and avldrums.lv2 packages now. A while back these were changed so that they link against the system fluidsynth library instead of the stripped-down fluidsynth version that's included in @x42's source. Removing that patch and rebuilding the packages solves the issue so that the plugins work fine in Element. I'll get in touch with @dvzrv on this.

Updated the package to make it work again. Also switched to the KV gitlab so that it's the latest git version.

I also have a version of the PKGBUILD that enables VST2 support (using the vst2sdk AUR package) and includes the Element plugins, see https://github.com/agraef/pkgbuild-element-git/tree/testing. (I hesitate to upload that here for license reasons.)

This works fine for me. There are some issues with certain LV2 plugins from the official package repos, but I don't think that they are Element's fault. Specifically, if you find that gmsynth.lv2 and avldrums.lv2 don't work with Elements, try x42's Linux packages at https://x42-plugins.com/x42/midi instead.

@AlmaMater: Updated the PKGBUILD now.

I'm also orphaning the package now. The app never really worked for me so I'm not using it.

@AlmaMater: upstream changed the build system to meson. The PKGBUILD file needs to re-written accordingly. I'll do that later.

I get the following error:

python: can't open file '/home/xxxxxx/.cache/yay/element-git/src/element/./waf': [Errno 2] No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: element-git

@DHMike57: vst2sdk uses an old version of Steinberg's vstsdk downloaded from archive.org. This is not reliable, IMHO, so we should not depend on that package for building.

DHMike57 commented on 2022-04-22 14:29 (UTC)

With minor modifications we can build as a VST2 host. Patch below if you agree that it should be a default. Needed for u-he synths, for example.

Thanks, updated, and https://github.com/kushview/Element/issues/218

SpotlightKid commented on 2020-07-22 17:04 (UTC)

Also, this needs to provide and conflict with element.
