Using VSTs on Linux (debian)

[Jonathan790]

Hey! I bought and downloaded a pack of samples and synthesizers from Beatport and what I have is the samples and the instruments in form of .exs, .fxp, .sxt and .ski files. My question is, how do I make it possible to use these instruments in LMMS? As I understand it I need to use Wine. So I installed Wine. However, how do I proceed from there? There is no .exe file to launch into Wine.

LMMS has Vestige which can load .dll files.

There should be an .dll and or exe file.

I am pretty sure Vestige can't load : .exs, .fxp, .sxt and .ski

Are they maybe for kontakt ? LMMS can't use those.

I googled and found this:
An EXS file is an instrument used by Logic Pro.

So you need Logic pro to run .exs files, and probably for the other ones too.

Im afraid you have bought a package, without reading the information. Gps is correct, you will need Logic-Pro.
Try and contact Beatport, and explain the situation. maybe you can get a refund.
