I originally asked this question at https://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7 ... 620#p32620, and they directed me here.
I don't feel like typing all the details all over again, so please just go to that link and save me all the trouble...
I've been trying to get this to work for just over two and a half years now, please help!
Thank you!

Re: I cannot get VSTs to work in KDE Debian using LMMS
Greetings,
Not much help here, I'm sorry, but I did try the clap-synth plugin pictured in your screenshot. I Airwave'd it and ran it in Bitwig 2.0, no problems at all, the plugin works very nicely. Is there perhaps a way to use it LMMS, i.e. thereby avoiding the Vestige container ?

Best,

is -->still<-- to use a 32 bit linux, install a 32 bit Reaper daw, and a 32bit wineasio.
About 88.3% of non-dongled vsts will work.
In second place, a little more difficult in the wine install, but still easy enough,
is 64 bit Reaper and wineasio in a 64 bit linux. Bridging 64-to-32 bit
is not perfect in Reaper. Yet.
In pseudo 3rd place, is Airwave, which is not too difficult to set up,
but maybe should be compiled for your system, to allow
the best results. Dave seems to be masterful in that department!
(Which is why I said said 'pseudo 3rd place' )
But alas, Airwave is also not a great daw, that is the bonus part of the Reaper deal.
Still, Airwave opens up linux Bitwig and othe linux daws to the windows vst world,
and a new kid on the block, 'lin-vst', is having similar impact.
I don't have much personal experience using Carla, but some people here do,
and so might rightly have a different list. In my non-coder opinion, lmms crew have
always tried to surf before becoming strong swimmers, with currents, tides, sharks
and jellyfish all having their way with lmms users all to often.
Now enter the many linux ported U-he, and discoDSP plugins, Pianoteq,
and more than a dozen native linux vsts, that can minimize the needs for windows vsts in wine,
and be used in linux versions of Reaper, Bitwig, Ardour/Mixbus, Qtractor, 'and more'.
That said, I won't ever stop using my 32 plugins. Too many are far too good, a lifetime
supply, to be sure.
The tide is high, and the clams skinny-dipping!
Cheers
