Are there any VST plugins working under LMMS?

Hi all!
I found some amazingly sounding plugins, they are called Manipulator. Is it even possible to add them or use them under Windows LMMS?
I tried several of them like Arturia V or Esfera but nothing works.
How generally are you dealing with VST? Can you recommend me any pads VST working under LMMS? Should I switch to Linux' LMMS? Are there more possibilities to experiment with external plugins?
Thank you very much for any help, I am totally new here.

There are lots. Try https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Tested_VSTs and also check the section at the bottom showing VSTs that have been specifically tested and shown NOT to work.

There are quite a few others that will work but unfortunately plenty that will not. There is not much you can do but test the ones you're interested in.

I tried .. but nothing works.
What does 'not work' exactly? Can you be more specific?
How generally are you dealing with VST?
That is explained here:

In respect to using new ones, always do

Can you recommend me any pads VST working under LMMS?
Emediately i think zynaddsubfx (zasfx). Have you tried those included in lmms?
You may like to improve them like:

No, except for the CALF plugin, where it should be possible to get an enhanced UI, but afaik, not one single lmms user has been able to

Perhaps my LMMS rookie-guide can interest you? Link in signature.

Before using VSTs in a project, you can test them.

Yeah! I am already digging there! Great website!
I am looking for synths like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbDyJMAM4Ec
On the tutorial, they are made in Serum. I am trying to re-create it in ZynAddSubFX but It's quite hard without the specific tutorial and with my 1-month-skills.

Check out a free vst called Synth 1. :)
It works really well, for Lmms Windows.
http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/

Also, on this forum, we have quite alot, of synth sound making tuts, in the Tutorials section.
Made by many Lmms users and contributors.
Some of these tuts, are for ZynAddSubFX, Synth 1 and for Lmms' internal synth plugins.
eg. Bit Invader, Nescaline, Freeboy etc.

Enjoy. :D

Thanks guys for your help!
I think that many of my problems were related to using version 64 bit for 32 Windows. Older VST (not from 2017) are working fine for me.

In free, I doubt that you find VSTi like Serum.

It works for LMMS Linux x86 as well. And it is not a bad synth indeed.
