Hi, I am not even sure I am using this correctly. I apologize if I am in error.
I downloaded oi.grandad.vst3.linux.tar.xz and put the oi grandad vst3 folder in the home/.vst3 folder on my computer.
I am using pop_os and ardour. the gui shows up as I expected but I cannot get it to accept a sound file by dropping, and no sound browser seems to work either. what have I goofed. it seems pretty straight forward so I am a bit of a loss.
thanks in advance for any help. I really hope I can get this to work, I saw it on venus theory's youtube vid and was VERY IMPRESSED.
sincerely

Hi, thanks for the report.

Unfortunately, I've no experience with either Pop os, or ardour. Is there any chance you could try with a different DAW, or maybe Carla? To clarify, right clicking on the sample window doesn't open a file browser? There have been previous reports of drag & drop not working, but in that case the file browser seemed fine.

I'll see if I can get Pop up and running later, it would be helpful to know which version you are using.

Cheers
Rick

I think I've figured it out. There's an problem with the way HISE (the framework used to build Oi, Grandad!) opens the file browser in certain linux DAWs, Ardour in particular.

This version uses the hise file picker, and should fix the problem:

https://github.com/publicsamples/Oi-Grandad/releases/tag/1.1.5

Unfortunately, getting a recent, VST3 compatible version of Ardour up and running on my Ubuntu 20.04 system was melting my brain (it's been a long day!). So I've not tested. If you could report back and let me know if it works, that would be much appreciated.

Rick

Hi Bill, sounds like you've downloaded the repository, rather than the plugin.

This is the file you need:

https://github.com/publicsamples/Oi-Grandad/releases/download/1.1.5/oi.grandad.Lin.VST3.tar.xz
