Is there anyway to run vst natively on LMMS?
cause I was using Lubuntu (basicaly Ubuntu) and I could run VSTs natively! which was sweet!!
Anyways any hopes on running vst natively on LMMS?

The VST support in LMMS doesn’t work in the latest version of LMMS in the Solus repo as I can’t get it to work with version 1.2.0. I did add Carla support though, so you should be able to load Ladspa, LV2 and VST files through it instead. I don’t think it works using wine, need a native Linux version, but otherwise it works flawlessly. It is what I use for my plugins in LLVM...

Jacalz So low-key no VST support on LMMS on Solus ?
Damn! I might have to switch cause the current project I'm working on heavily depends upon VSTs!!

Jacalz

Kaizaki Yeah, I’m afraid that that is the case but as noted earlier, you should be able to load them through Carla as long as they are Linux native and not windows plugins.

Until this is resolved in Solus, I would recommend you to download the appimage from https://lmms.io and you might need to download the 32bit version of wine from the software center...

Here is a direct download link: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/download/v1.2.0/lmms-1.2.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage

I hope this might help you 🙂

Jacalz Lol I was about to reply back the same 🤣 (Downloading the appimage)

What audio editor do you use, I recommend to use FL Studio? I don't have any problems in FL Studio, I just set one track on top of another and work on the sound of the instruments or bits afterwards. Not so long ago, I decided to diversify my playing of musical instruments and started using various VST plugins. My electric guitar that I purchased at the bluebuzzmusic.com store included a CD with some plugins for changing the sound. They're also very easy to use in FL Studio and they can be added to the program.

VST support on LMMS is disabled on purpose. Dunno why.

frankarmes FL Studio works almost flawlessly on Wine. You need to use 4.10 or previous Wine version for it though. That can be achieved via Lutris for example.
