    Yes, it really is nice, but I am a fan of acoustic piano's, electric piano's and organ sounds. The demo of the Montage sounds great for these. I already have two Kontakt libraries (Júnior Porciúncula Synthage and Junior Porciuncula - Kollection KEYS - NK STAGE) but these are huge (Kollection is 44Gb!!!) so I was looking for a more compact solution and was hoping to get this thingy working. And I must say that one preset piano sounds really great to my ears!

    So I am still hoping somebody comes up with a bright great for the missing library/libraries for Wine to get the Montage running! :invision:

    I have a Yamaha MX49 (hardware) and it sounds much better than the Roland FA-06 (hardware) and Korg. It's clearer, and the Montage is certainly known for clear sounds with more brilliance than Roland and Korg. I think it's great that you're using Linux! Good luck!

    I first bought a Korg Kross and changed it very rapidly to a Roland FA-06. Not the best sounding, but very versatile sound wise and it is light and small with still 5 octaves. I use it in my band. I travel very light! I have a 10 inch Dell laptop for some extra sounds and it fits in my FA-06 carrying bag. Great! But I always somehow like the Montage better in sound. But in performance the FA-06 is fantastic for seamlessly changing sound-presets which is a fantastic feature only just added in v3 of the Montage!

    I think if you successfully get a VR release working on Linux is it close to Luck. At least R2R do a release with a Linux version included sometimes, and maybe quickly check if it will run in an emulator when they aren't; to see if there is anything they can do to make it working ok in Wine. If you look on VR audio plugins page, not one of them have ever had Linux versions included.

    Thanks, but actually it only worked for 5 played notes. The R2R in that respect did it better.
    I do believe it is possible. Since the plugin shows up and the preset is working, the plugin is properly cured. It is just that one library or a couple of libraries are missing and necessary to change the parameters. If the plugin would not show up or no sound, then that would be a problem. But I keep having the feeling that we're close to get it working if only somebody could detect what what would be necessary to get the changing of the knobs done! :yes:
