I'm getting a bunch of Vst plugins that are saying, when loaded in VeSTige, that they can't find any instruments. They do continue to load, and act as if they loaded correctly (i.e., VeSTige loads them and creates an entry in the song editor, and you can even add a pattern to them in the piano roll. But they do exactly nothing.
I tried this with DSK Saxaphones (https://vst4free.com/plugin/2160/) and the same plugin from another source (just to be sure it wasn't a bad copy). No change. It just says it can't find any instruments. I've gotten this several times, and it's getting very annoying, to say the least. (I did find out that Vst plugins MUST be in "Program Files" to work in MS Windows 10 (WHY?). So they're all back in that directory after LMMS totally failed to see them in c:/jim/lmms/Vstplugins.
I also tried extracting the zip inside of the Vstplugins directory in program files, and just to do that, I had to move the DLL file into the main Vstplugins directory (out of the DSK Saxaphones directory). No change...no instruments found.
While searching for an answer online, I did see where the other one (L something) that everyone seems to compare LMMS to, and they apparently have the same issue. Is there something I'm missing here about specific VST plugins that can't be used by anyone?.
Suggestions? Anyone know what's going on? Are these all just bad plugins?
Thanks
