LMMS and vst plugins

Post by Gps4l »

I am using the program LMMS ( Linux multimedia studio )
This program is like fruityloops, but for Linux.
If that does not mean anything to you guys, its a program to make music.

With this program you can load vst plugins. ( sofware synthesizers)

This is done by loading .dll files.

Allot of these work, but some don't.

LMMS uses wine to load these .dll files.

There is one vst, I really would like to use. ( vintage sounds, Jean Mcichel Jarre used as rhythm )
But when I load it, it freezes lmms and prob wine too.

On Linux when I encounter problems, I can start programs from the command line.
And see the output, of the programs and possible errors.
Is this possible for loading .dll files in LMMS too?
( LMMS runs native on LInux, not through wine )

I already tried starting wine from the command line, but that did not work.
Wine told me I need to add the program I want to start.
But an .dll file is not a program.

I would like to see what goes wrong when loading this .dll file. Because maybe then it can be fixed.
I also know there are programs with which you can edit .dll files, and although I fear this is way to complicated for me, I can always try.
But then I need at least a basic idea, on what goes wrong.

If it helps, this is the plugin. ( its an vintage rhythm machine )

I have already been searching for hours, if there was not another vst to use, but I could not find one.

Then this isn't a Wine question, even if they are using Wine, or parts of Wine, for their app. Developers of third party apps are responsible for supporting their own users. Ask on the LMMS forum. http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/lmms/

It is a wine question because wine fails to load the .dll file.

Answers like this make me want to install fruity loops on windows 7.

And to repeat my question, how can I see output from the command line like I am used too with Linux programs.
Or is this not possible with wine?

I am already registered on that forum, I ask question there if I have problems with lmms, this is a wine issue.

I just installed LMMS on Windows 7 pro 32 bit. No problems there loading that vst pluging ( the .dll )

So I am pretty sure its a wine issue.

I found my solution.

(lmms does not run on wine, so 10.1 of the faq does not apply )

But I asked on Phoronix too, and the pointed me to this:
