How To Use Your Vst Plugins In Lmms
Using Windows VST Plugins on Linux; Using Windows VST Plugins on Linux. Thanks to the combined work of Torben Hohn, Kjetil Mattheusen, Paul Davis and a few other developers, it is possible to use Windows VST plugins (that is, plugins in VST format built and distributed for the Windows platforms) on Ardour running on Linux.
I wanted to use Dexed as part of my LMMS setup and the usual way of doing this is by using a VST plugin. The Dexed GitHub releases page has a number of pre-built plugins so I had a quick check in the LMMS manual as to what to do next VST plugins on LMMS – part 1. Fortunately there’s a useful page on the LMMS wiki about plugins. The idea is to open an audio plugin (VST/AU) and be able to morph between plugins stated (programs) without re-loading the program in the plugin (this causes clicks and freezes on some plugins) To load a plugin just rename your Morf.dll or Morf.vst(mac) to MoRfPLUGINNAME.dll, where PLUGINNAME should be the name of the plugin that should.

From what I can observe, you are trying to achieve midi-generating, sequencer-like behavior out of a VST plugin which I'm not sure LMMS plays well with. Let me explain a bit more. To the right of the text 'No VST Plugin loaded' there is a folder symbol - click on it Browse the VST folder Click on the.dll and wait for LMMS to load the VST When it loads, the VST's GUI will open. Here are the 13 Best Free VST Host Applications that you can use to host your favorite VST Plugins. You can make music without spending money.
Anyways most of the tuts I have seen, are pretty old, and tell LMMS newbies like me, to put the VST's in LMMS plug ins folder.
But in this video...'How to use VST plug ins to make Indian instrumental sound loops for free.' I noticed the tutorial guy had his VSTs in a Desktop folder.
My question is, could I Make a custom folder for my Indian Dreams Vst and others etc. and put it anywhere, on my Notebook and link LMMS to it in the settings menu?
Or do I have to put the Indian Dreams Vst and others etc, in the same LMMS plug ins folder, where all the default LMMS plug in stuff is, so I wouldn't confuse myself and have to switch back and forth?
After writing this confusing scenario, I'm just 'Beaned.' ( Thats my slang by the way. Original huh?)
I'm using LMMS 64 Bit on Windows 7 64 bit.
Hope you guys can help. Bye.
Recently I’ve had lengthy discussions with a friend about how good 80s era synths like the Roland D-50 and the Yamaha DX7 sounded. Neither of us had the budget, space and, more importantly in my case, the talent for one of these beasts so I started to have a look for some emulators. There’s very little for the D-50 but the original ROMs for the DX7 are readily available online and the Dexed soft synth gets some good reviews. One of my usual YouTube haunts – Woody’s Piano Shack – has a comparison of dexed against a real DX-7:

VST plugins on LMMS – part 1
Fortunately there’s a useful page on the LMMS wiki about plugins. The not so good news is that “… Because most VSTs are written to be Windows compatible, VSTs tend to work better on Windows LMMS installations. Linux LMMS installations require Wine installed before these plugins can be used.”
Hmm, OK, I’ve not really played much with Wine and I’ve heard mixed reviews about it but I’m willing to give it a go. The other key bit of information is that you need 32 bit VSTs and not the 64 bit versions.
Wine Install
In the past I’ve found that installing Wine was a bit hit or miss and, to be honest, I never got it to do anything useful other than run Notepad or Minesweeper. However this was a few years ago and the Wine website now has a dedicated page for some distributions. The one for Ubuntu looked straightforward enough with just a few commands to be run.
To my slight surprise it worked absolutely perfectly with no problems and I soon had Wine installed. Back to the VST …
VST plugins on LMMS – part 2
The wiki page very sensibly recommends that you start with a known working VST so I downloaded the recommended instrument and followed the instructions. Again I had no problems and the Wine initialisation automatically download the Gecko libraries so as to display the VST and I soon had the synth up and running. Note that the GUI that I saw was different from that on the wiki page ( left ) but it works fine.
There is another LMMS wiki page listing Tested VSTs but I found that not all of the supposedly tested ones worked on my Wine installation.
The Dexed installer for Windows is a .exe file and I ran that using a simple Wine command:
The normal Windows installer dialogs were shown and both a standalone and 64/32 bit VST plugins were installed. By default the Wine home directory is under “.wine” in your home directory and I copied the 32 bit VST dll ( called Dexed.dll ) from there into the area where I normally store the VSTs and started LMMS.
Lmms Vsts
The Dexed plugin loaded fine and I soon had a virtual DX7 running. However there’s one more step to get the full retro sound and that is to load the original factory presets. For some reason these are not loaded as default but the Dexed home page “Cartridge Manager” section has a link to a recommended compilation of cartridges. The comments in the YouTube video above point to the DXCARTFO directory and this contains a file called CART1A.SYX which seems to provide the right sounds. I had to add the DXCARTFO to the Applications Data directory under Wine for it to be picked up properly, this is something like:
After that it’s 80s synth pop all the way 🙂 Vst plugins ukulele free.
