Hey guys
I'm using Manjaro KDE (up to date) and the latest version of LMMS for a few weeks now and I want to use some VST plugins. I haven't found anyone with the same problem yet.
So I downloaded some VSTs and put them in the lmms/plugins/vst folder, some are working for linux others only for windows.
I dragged the VeSTige plugin into the song editor and chose the dll file from the folder.
The first time I did it, the wine configuration popped up and I clicked install for all the additional stuff.
After that, the VST sort of worked properly and played the default sound. But the problem is, that the
show/hide GUI button opens up just a blank window which does nothing. So now I can't change the sound in any way (except FX). After a few minutes, LMMS freezes and after force stopping it, it leaves an open window on my desktop where the VST controller should have been and I have to kill it over the console as it won't close.
I'm not sure if a plugin which is labeled for Linux also uses wine. If so, it could be a problem with the wine configuration. I don't think it's a problem by the VSTs themselfes as I used different websites for getting them. If any more information is needed just ask.
Any ideas what causes the problem or how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!
