Hi, it's now a month ago that I started with lmms. After the straight forward testing instrument plugins I wanted to use samplers/players within LMMS on a Linux computer. I red the LMMS Wiki and followed the discussions in this board. Not very promising.
As I was in doubt that (almost) nothing should work, I tried a lot of samplers in the last weeks. I can agree, I was not able to get Zampler and TX16Wx running on LMMS 1.2-RC5/Wine 3.0/Ubuntu 16.04. Grace started but that's all. I couldn't load any samples. So far I agree with the LMMS Wiki. However, at least ShortCircuit 1 (not 2) worked nicely. And Bliss as LV2.
The relatively new SampleScience Player runs also very stably, but the knobs that you can use within the plugin do not show up in the external menu. And finally sforzando. My favorite. It works fine, the knobs show up and can be controlled externally. IMO a clear candidate for a "green label" in the wiki.
Added: I did not try Kontakt (5) Player on Linux but contrary to the statement in the LMMS Wiki it works fine in LMMS on Windows.
