I just purchased Pianoteq. I installed it on my laptop and it is working fine. I followed the directions here: Pianoteq - ZynthianWiki to install it on my Zynthian. I accidentally tried to upload the unencrypted files first, but then realized I was supposed to upload the whole 7zip archive.
After doing this, the Zynthian web UI showed the correct edition of Pianoteq. I then entered the license key and now the web UI shows what is in the attached image. If I try to add a Pianoteq instrument, I see the following error on the Zynthian screen:
One other thing I noticed is that the directions show that you should enter your serial number before rebooting the Zynthian, but it seems there is no place to do that. Once I do the upload, the UI states that I need to reboot.
Yes, the .zip for Linux. You drag it into the window that opens on WebConf and install… for a while Mozilla did not let you do it, but now it works for me. Once the installation file is loaded, on Webconf you have to confirm (as with all operations). It restarts and then enter the serial. Without serial it works but without some notes. For me it worked like this.
So I am still stuck here. I think there must be a bug. Here is what I am doing (note I have already purchased Pianoteq and am running it on my laptop):
Freshly create a new Zynthian SD Card.
Log into the Zynthian webconsole
Go to the Software | Pianoteq page (see image 1-ZynthianPianoteq-InitialScreen.png)
Upload the Pianoteq image. You can see I am uploading the whole linux 7zip archive. (see image 2-ZynthianPianoteq-UploadScreen.png)
Press the “Upload” button
Wait for upload to complete (see image 3-ZynthianPianoteq-UploadCompleteScreen.png)
Press the “Reboot your Zynthian” button and the confirm button on the next page
Wait for reboot
Go back to the Software | Pianoteq page (see 4-ZynthianPianoteq-AfterRebootScreen.png)
You can see that the license key entry screen is not available. It just shows “TRIAL” under product.
Has anyone tried doing this same thing from a fresh SD Card? I am being careful to follow all the steps. I have read other threads and I am not making the same mistakes (for example, some people were not pressing the red “Upload” button on the upload screen).
I ssh-ed into the Zynthian as well. I did notice that the /zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/recipes/install_pianoteq_binary.sh script seems to have renamed the old trail install of pianoteq (the one that came with the original image) and seems to have installed my version. However, Pianoteq is gone from the Zynthian UI (running on the device) when I try to add it as a instrument. After this process, the “Piano” section of the interface only shows:
MDA ePiano
SL-kl5 Piano Synthesizer
How does the UI and the webconsole find the Pianoteq install? Is there a broken symlink or something?
I tried with the “stage” package, that is what license, and it works like a charm. Perhaps the issue is with the “standard” package. Could you send me the standard 7z file to test? You can send to this email: fernando@zynthian.org
Happy to help figure this out if I can get a quick primer on how the web UI interacts with the Pianoteq install and how the UI for the Zynthian itself does as well.
Search for the Pianoteq binary in the Zynthian folder structure and erase it. You uploaded a wrong file. The OS must take care of unpacking it and allocating its components.
There seems to be a problem with the CUIA reading (key actions binding) of your rotary switches. Are they bullt correctly?
It works for me in Vangelis. I didn’t check in a fresh installed oram stable but i will do.
Could you try with a fresh installed image, but upgrading to vangelis (or staging) first?
