I'm using Manjaro KDE (up to date) and the latest version of LMMS for a few weeks now and I want to use some VST plugins. I haven't found anyone with the same problem yet.
So I downloaded some VSTs and put them in the lmms/plugins/vst folder, some are working for linux others only for windows.
I dragged the VeSTige plugin into the song editor and chose the dll file from the folder.
The first time I did it, the wine configuration popped up and I clicked install for all the additional stuff.
After that, the VST sort of worked properly and played the default sound. But the problem is, that the
show/hide GUI button opens up just a blank window which does nothing. So now I can't change the sound in any way (except FX). After a few minutes, LMMS freezes and after force stopping it, it leaves an open window on my desktop where the VST controller should have been and I have to kill it over the console as it won't close.
I'm not sure if a plugin which is labeled for Linux also uses wine. If so, it could be a problem with the wine configuration. I don't think it's a problem by the VSTs themselfes as I used different websites for getting them. If any more information is needed just ask.
Any ideas what causes the problem or how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

LMMS VST Plugins using Carla Posted on October 14, 2018 by theretiredengineer While doing some more research on VST plugins I came across an alternative way of running native Linux VSTs in LMMS (rather than using WINE). It’s not very well publicised in my opinion and I found it via an incomplete LMMS wiki page.
