I use non standard locations such as ~/vst/u-he/ and I simply add that
path to Ardour's or Bitwig's config. Although I can try changing the
default location when building Yoshimi, to lib/lv2.

Once changed and compiled, and with Ardour (Mixbus 32C) being told
about the path, followed by a rescan, Yoshimi is now on an Ardour
MIDI track, a keyboard is connected and assigned. When a note is played
the blue bar in Yoshimi moves, Ardour shows MIDI activity on that track
but, no signal gets to the VU of that track. There is audio, synth
sounds are heard from Yoshimi, but nothing register on the track's VU.
The fader works, though. First time I see this. Fader works but no VU
feedback. The master VU shows audio activity, but not the VU for
Yoshimi's track.

Of course, if I enable Zebra2 for the same keyboard, both the Zebra2
and the Yoshimi sounds are heard. But only Zebra2 shows up on its
track VU. The Yoshimi track VU still shows nothing. It's like
bypassing that VU completly and tapping elsewhere into Ardour.... but
the track fader works.

I wonder what other implications this very strange thing may have.

Cheers.
