I've downloaded a native VST Plugin in Shared Library Format (ELF, *.so) from this site: http://www.kvraudio.com/plugin-ranks.php?os=3
How I can add this to LMMS and use it as it supposed to be :?: :?: :?:

I searched the web a while, but I'm unable to find anything useful; that make me :twisted: :twisted:

Can someone help me, please! :mrgreen:

LMMS doesn't handle actual native linux vst ( *.so files ) as yet, the proper place to put this is either .vst or vst folder in your home directory for other linux apps which do support it tho. I have tried putting it in all the possible ladspa paths, although it is a shared oblect ( .so ) file it is not an actual ladspa effect or instrument.

That's bad :cry: :cry:
But I found a program that is supposed to run native Linux VST Plugins, it can be found here http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/?page_id=4
At the moment I don't know anything about the program, i don't compiled it at all - very busy :mrgreen:

After long fighting over hours and hours with compiler errors and tons of warnings :evil: :twisted: :roll: :ugeek: , I finally managed to got JOST to compile and it works, but it is very user unfriendly and not really a host you can use.
Than I randomly found a program that coasts money, but probably can replace LMMS for me: http://www.renoise.com/
All native VST(i) Plugins i have (*.so) works great with this program :P :D :D , but I don't know. LMMS is very easy to use and has a simple interface, while Renoise f***s my eyes! :o Tooooooooo complex interface and tooooooooo small fonts :x


PS: I cannot find an option to mark this thread as solved :mrgreen: , because I found an reasonable solution for my problem.

Hi ghettogirl.

In case you have Lmms 0.4.14 installed, Lmms 0.4.15 has been released. So Enjoy. :D

PS: It's even mentioned by raekman, in the News and Announcements Section, of this Lmms Forum,
in case anyone missed it.

Yes I've already updated, the primary reason of the update was the MIDI Interface problems.
Total System Freeze :roll: because of one f***ing line of code??? (I took a look at the source code ;) )

But why the whole Linux System freezes and not only LMMS? Can someone tell me, it doesn't makes sense for me ...

Lots of bugs are something like 1 line of code, or even 1 character. Someone once crashed a pretty expensive satellite launch with a minus instead of plus somewhere in the code...

Freezing the whole system doesn't make sense. Must be a bug in Linux, shouldn't really let some random program freeze everything no matter how bad it is. When I tickled that bug, it only froze LMMS.
