Run Windows VST plugins on Linux
Originally developed at Breakfast Quay but now grown up and movedaway, dssi-vst is an adapter that allows users of Linux audiosoftware to take VST and VSTi audio effects and instrument pluginscompiled for Windows, and load them into native LADSPA or DSSI plugin hosts.
One downside, however, is that it does not yet support native Linux plugin formats such as LV2, DSSI, or LADSPA. Granted, there are ways that one can make these work, such as using Carla Rack or a plugin wrapper. The Best Free Audio Plugins for Linux with Video Demos. Ladspa and LV2 Synths, Reverbs, Compressorsand much more. Just listen, watch and download! Using Windows VST Plugins on Linux Thanks to the combined work of Torben Hohn, Kjetil Mattheusen, Paul Davis and a few other developers, it is possible to use Windows VST plugins (that is, plugins in VST format built and distributed for the Windows platforms) on Ardour running on Linux. However, doing so has three substantial downsides.
Plugins run at full speed for most audio processing, although theiruser interfaces are slower because of the Windows emulation.
dssi-vst can also be used to run 32-bit Windows VST pluginsin a 64-bit Linux host.
Using Vst Plugins In Linux Virtualbox
dssi-vst requires Wine libraries for Windowscompatibility, and is therefore best obtained directly from a Linuxdistribution repository that can provide all of the required librariesat the time of installation. Installing dssi-vst without adistribution package can be quite tricky to do.
