VST's in Linux (Followup)
There are some updates to my previous posts about VST's in Linux. Some information was slightly inaccurate and I apologize.
Here are the updated methods for VST support in Linux. Method #3 was inaccurate and there is now a "historical" method 3.
Method #1
FST
This program, once compiled and running, must first have "lashd" setup and running. Once this is accomplished, a synth can be loaded like: fst filename.dll
Note: This is technically what Ardour uses, the FST program, to load DLL's. Ardour has actually had VST support in previous builds, but it is now coded in Ardour 2.0.
Method #2
DSSI-VST
Once installed and running, use this: vsthost filename.dll
Method #3
vstserver
FST is a descendant of this development. No longer supported or worked on, this was the first method for using VST's in Linux.
LMMS support VST's also, but I am unsure which method it uses right now. Thanks, Sampo, for pointing out the inaccuracies.
