[solved] VSTi Question Aria Player and sforzando in linux

[musikbear]

I'll contact the Zorin bros and ask them directly. They're pretty responsive so maybe they can come up with a fix.

We in the lmms community would appreciate if you would share your zorin solution here!

Problem solved. The Zorin team contacted me and gave me the following instructions:

The version of LMMS in the standard Ubuntu repos does not include VST support.
You can install LMMS with VST support from the KXStudio repos.
To add the repos please run the following commands in a Terminal window:

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https software-properties-common wget libglibmm-2.4-1v5
wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/ ... o1_all.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/ ... o1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i kxstudio-repos_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i kxstudio-repos-gcc5_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb

You can then install LMMS with VST support by running the following commands in a Terminal window:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lmms-vst-full

So I have Vestige now, I just have to figure out how to use it.

Problem solved. The Zorin team contacted me and gave me the following instructions:

Thanks! The KXstudio solution was already included in the wiki,
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Wo ... _.26_Linux
but it is good to know that this solution also works for zorin.
I will add that information shortly :)

I kind of knew it was, but thought maybe the Zorin team might have some specialized instructions that I would need for Zorin. Just being extra careful.

I am excited to report that I have both the Aria Player and sforzando working in LMMS. both are the 32 bit versions, but I may be able to get the 64 bit working. All controls work, and you can save and reopen them. This means I can use GPO on LMMS in Linux! You have to authorize them in a weird way, by importing the GPO keycard image, but that is really easy, you just use the import feature, where you would normally import instruments, and import the keycard instead. as simple as that. The Ambience reverb works, but not the convolution, but that's no big deal. This opens up a quality orchestral library for LMMS Linux version. I may not sleep tonight...

Edit: I was wrong, the convolution reverb does work. I just forgot to load an impulse.

Thank you, this may be interesting for other linux users.
