How to Install VST PLUGINS in LMMS

VST ON LMMS

LMMS

VST Plugins are like special tools you use to make music on your computer. When you get one of these tools, it usually comes with a file that ends with ".dll." You use a thing called VeSTige to make this file work in LMMS. Sometimes, instead of a ".dll" file, you might get a ".exe" file. If that happens, you need to install it first before you can use the ".dll" file in LMMS.

HOW TO INSTALL VST INSTRUMENT PLUGINS ON LMMS

Now, there are two ways to load VST Instruments:

• You can drag the ".dll" file from the Sidebar into the Song Editor, or you can right-click on it for more options.
• You can open the ".dll" file through something called GUI in VeSTige. Then, you click on a symbol that looks like a folder.

LMMS lets you save and load presets for these VST Instruments. It's like saving your favorite settings for later. To save a preset, you give it a name and then click on a little icon in the VeSTige window. When you want to use a saved preset, you can right-click on it in the sidebar and choose "Send to New/Active Instrument Track," or you can just drag it into the Song Editor.

HOW TO INSTALL VST EFFECT PLUGINS ON LMMS

Now, let's talk about VST Effects. These are different from VST Instruments because you don't load them through VeSTige. Instead, you have to tell LMMS where to find them. You do this by pointing something called "VST-PLUGIN DIRECTORY" to the folder where your ".dll" files are kept. If your ".dll" files are in different folders, you can connect them all to one folder using something called symlinking.

Once you've installed your VST effects and told LMMS where to find them, you just need to restart LMMS. Then, these effects will magically appear in a box called "Add Effect" dialog box, ready for you to use in your music-making adventures.

HOW TO INSTALL VST ON LINUX WITH LMMS

To use VSTs on Linux with LMMS, you first need to install Wine. After that, you can install LMMS' AppImage for Linux. When you open LMMS through the AppImage file for the first time, Wine might ask you to install upgrades - make sure to say yes to all of them.

Then, go to Edit > Settings > Misc, and turn off Sync VST plugins to host playback. This setting works better for Linux users.
