Hello everybody, I've been exploring the editor setting in the piano rompler and, being fairly new to the world of VST, I'm a bit confused. While some of the functions are clearer than others, and some even self-explanatory, a user manual or a reference table to explain more in detail what does what would be very nice. I have been comparing the setting between the different presets, but still, without any reference, the learning curve for a newbie is pretty stiff.

Hi. I have Orchestools installed for a tryout, and the first thing i'll say is thank you for the plugins (AV linux 64bit) The install went ok, and the 4 orchestral sections appear in Ardour as VST3 plugins. I can add each instance without crashes or freezes. And right up to the point i want to try a new preset things go well. I've selected the library window, it opens, and I can navigate to OT Strings factory/Combis & Multis/Midi Violins Articulations. Here's where it stops. I double click (my assumption this is correct) that entry, and nothing happens. When I go back to the main window, and search the factory preset list for the layer, this preset is not there. Q. How do i get this particular preset to appear in the dropdown list for the layers? Q 2. Is this preset as it says on the tin? Can i add it to the layer, and have the option of selecting articulations in a single layer/ daw track/midi channel, by some means (cc or some other method?) Alex.

Hello, I wanted to try the Piano SA standalone rompler on Linux. I downloaded the zip file from github but couldn't find any information about how to compile, run it, or install it on Linux. I saw there are some nodejs executables but that was it. Could you pleae explain how to run Piano SA on Linux, if that's possible?
