Problems with noVNC and lv2 Pianoteq7 from mac

Software

Hello fellow zynthianers,
I’d like to participate in the lv2 pianoteq preset challenge…but I can’t get the GUI to work. Am I missing something apart from the latest updates?

It is working for me with PT7. I did the following:

I could then follow the instructions to create presets… well I am still doing so - a bit of a faff - room for scripting automation!

I have some problems too. I created the files for the Model B Bank, but it seems I am to stupid get it to work :), maybe some mismatch with the names (blanks…). Maybe I’l give it another try this evening. If someone has a working folder for Pianoteq 7 it would be nice to get a look at it.

The GUI disappeared. I had to reboot to get it to reappear.

Thanks @riban Brian,

I don’t know what did the trick, but I got the PTQ GUI now.

Greetings and God bless, Marius

patch made from scratch with PTQ 7 Pro modified Kalimba
