Using effect VSTs in LMMS

[Monospace]

Naw. Looked at the github. No clear indication of any project specifically carried out to introduce VST3 support.

MFab: if the file is a .dll format, it is VST2 and can be used. If it's a .vst3 format it can't be used.
You can use a VST3 anyways: downloading software like jbridge (paid) or Element Kushview (free, but slightly confusing: if you do download it, feel free to ask for help), or alternatively use vstshell (it's somewhere on the net) to bridge your VST3s.
And musikbear... 1.3 supports VST3? How come I never heard of this? Brilliant!

I use LMMS V1.3 and I don't see that there is VST3 support.
Also, I'm trying to use the vst-effect called STFU (a free sidechainer) but the only format it has is VST3.
So I used Element to install it in LMMS but although it does embed the plugin, it's an effect plugin and therefore no sound is played and I cannot add the plugin as an effect of a track...

1.3 does not support VST3

..although it does embed the plugin,

It should not. Go to settings and change Embedding. It will be annoying to fetch the non-embedded-plugin from tray over and over, but atm that is what is needed.
