 @alejandrosame:matrix.org | Turns out I wasn't that far off. It seems I simply was confused by not seeing any update on max-user-freq values. | 13:45:26 |

| Thomas Heartman (he/him) | Hey! 🙋 I'm just getting back into audio production (first time on NixOS). I've found a number of free synths packaged into nixpkgs, but I haven't been able to find u-he's Zebralette or Tyrell N6. Do you know if they're available somewhere? If not, would any of you have a derivation for them or be able to help me write one? 🙏 | 17:10:15 |

| Thomas Heartman (he/him) | Oh, sick! Thank you so much 😄 | 17:41:41 |

| Thomas Heartman (he/him) | I had to do some minor changes (update to the latest version), but it seems to have worked. For reference, here's what I ended up with:
{ stdenv, libuuid, libxcb, expat, gtk3, glib }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "Zebralette-mini-Zebra";
version = "2.9.3";
src = builtins.fetchurl {
url = "https://dl.u-he.com/releases/Zebra2_293_12092_Linux.tar.xz";
sha256 = "sha256:1imn0a1pjgqihcms86m7wblc9fifmc2l9xczykl8c0bkzw883xpx";
};
dontBuild = true;
sourceRoot = "Zebra2-12092";
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p $out/lib/vst
cp -r Zebra2/* $out/lib
ln -f $out/lib/Zebra2.64.so $out/lib/vst/Zebra2.64.so
'';
postFixup = ''
patchelf \
--set-rpath ${expat}/lib:${libxcb}/lib:${libuuid.out}/lib \
$out/lib/vst/Zebra2.64.so
patchelf \
--set-interpreter $(cat $NIX_CC/nix-support/dynamic-linker) \
--set-rpath ${gtk3}/lib:${glib.out}/lib \
$out/lib/dialog.64
'';
}
However, when trying to run the plugins (in Bitwig), I'm getting these messages:

However, when trying to run the plugins (in Bitwig), I'm getting the above error (Installation issue: no GUI resources. Please run the installer again). Does that sound familiar?

| mei 🌒& | nope, never touched the Actual Thing just did my usual search :P | 17:51:18 |
| mei 🌒& | maybe LD_DEBUG=libs and/or strace | grep dlopen | 17:51:36 |
| mei 🌒& | * maybe LD_DEBUG=libs | 17:51:48 |
| Thomas Heartman (he/him) | Cool; I'll try that! ... How do I do that? Is that in the derivation? Also interesting thing to note: the synth seems to be working, there's just no GUI. That said, not being able to change presets or twist any knobs does make it kinda useless for now. | 17:56:57 |
