Roland User, dude, you explained a total mess. Let me clarify about the stuff so no longer misunderstandings should be.
- I develop MIDI synthesizer core libraries such as libADLMIDI and libOPNMIDI, and I have bundled tools like cross-platform terminal players, plugins for VLC player and WinMM drivers.
- My friend JPCima developed powerful VST plugins over my libraries and we worked together.
- Unfortunately, my friend is gone at September 0f 2022 and nobody can find him, even his close friends (I unexpectedly received one of such letters) and since that all his projects became unmaintained.
- I took the maintenance over his ADLJack repository that implements the MIDI daemon that I actively use on Linux to make music using Sekaiju MIDI editor.
- His ADLplug repository that contains VST plugins were left without write access for me at all.
- I made my fork 3 months ago to just apply minor fixes, but later I just didn't touched it for a long time since any VST modules aren't in my priority.
- What actually Roland User wanted from Falcosoft: he wants Falcosoft to pick up the most recent version of ADLplug (my fork is right now) repo and continue its maintenance so let new updates with the most fresh libADLMIDI's and libOPNMIDI's cores being available in VST/LV2 plugin format too.
- By myself I am not super-interested in VST since I don't use any of such stuff on my end and across of my users it's very small demand on VST/LV2 plugins (or isn't just users of JPCima's ADLplug/OPNplug are fine with existing stuff?). I do use DAWs very rarely, just because I am fan of pure MIDI and I use my libADLMIDI and libOPNMIDI directly in game projects to play musics from MIDI files directly. But if anybody greatly wants a VST - feel free to assist me to maintain such overlays. While JPCima was available, we worked very good, and his ADLplug received my updates rapidly.

Hi,
Thanks for the explanation. I suspected something similar at the end of the conversation with Roland User but with your more detailed explanation the situation is absolutely clear for me.
But unfortunately this does not change the fact that currently I have neither the free time nor the mood to be the maintainer of that plugin.

Thank you for clean about MIDI reset )
Also as for explanations Wohlstand and my dialog with you , if you this understand as order do right now and regardless from your desires and interest , so sorry for my english , I by no means not wanted say what need do immediately and no matter what you want )

Hi Falco,

I've been playing around with the VSTi part of FSMP. And it works great, at least for Syxg50. However I can't seem to get Sound Canvas VA to work.
I tried both x86 (it fails to load) and x64 (it loads but no sound is produced).
This foobar2k plugin works fine:
https://github.com/stuerp/foo_midi
I just point it to SCCore and it plays all MIDIs happily
But since it's a foobar plugin, it only allows playing back MIDI files, it lacks the versatility of FSMP.

What can I do?

Hi,
Both x86 and x64 versions of SC-VA work perfectly with FSMP, I personally and many others use these plugins without problems with FSMP all the time. One thing to note that the x86 version of SC-VA has to be used with the x86 version of FSMP and vice versa.
Your 'it fails to load' problem can be attributed to such a bitness mismatch. BTW, contrary to foo_midi you should load the main VSTi dll not the core one (i.e. SOUND Canvas VA.dll).

PS:
The no sound issue can be a problem of missing visual c++ 2010 runtime (at least on Windows XP).
Re: Heads Up: Roland Sound Canvas VA VSTi Plugin!

I know, I'm not using SCCore, but the Sound Canvas VA file.

But this is what I get:

And it's not like I can register it given that it's discontinued.

Yet foo_midi doesn't have any of these issues. It just works.

Foo_Midi does not use the VSTi plugin at all. It uses the SCCore directly. I think Kode54 called it the 'secret sauce' or something like this. Your problem is definitely proper authorization related and has nothing to do with FSMP. All normal VST hosts would produce the same result.

Ps: I think the old offline installer of SC-VA is still available that has a time limit but at least produces sound.

Then consider this a feature request for FSMP to do the black magic foo_midi does :-)

It's even open source, I think this is the file that does the black magic.

I do not think it can be done so easily. Be aware that FSMP is written in Pascal not in C/C++ 😀
BTW, if you need a working version of SC-VA, write me a PM...

Yes, I can assure that:

You'll have to update the RCM application to newest version and since SCVA is discountinued, you'll have to obtain an offline installer (I did write to the support and got one).
