Hey, im trying to use VST vocoder plugins in my LMMS project, but i am having trouble routing the carrier and modulator to it correctly.

right now i have a vocal track sent to FX 1 (and not to master)

a triple oscillator track sent to FX 2 (and not to master)

and i have both FX1 and FX2 sent to FX3 (which is sent to master)


I have gotten this setup to work with the vocoder FX that LMMS comes with, when I apply it to FX3. But the plugin i want to use (TAL vocoder, and others), cannot be set as an effect, only as a new Vestige track.

i tried moving the .dll to the plugins folder, but it still doesn't show up in the list of effects.

I tried setting the Vestige effect to FX3 and mapping all 3 tracks to my MIDI device, but it just plays the voice and triple osc, without any vocoding. (i also have "input mode" on in the TAL vocoder GUI)

Has anyone had luck using VST's as vocoders? if so, can u please explain how to set it up, or post ur LMMS file.

I've spent over an hour watching videos and reading forums posts but i just cant seem to figure it out.

any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

Here's what i have so far
