Yes - a free virtual metal guitar! Does anybody here know how to get this working on a Linux computer?

I think Windows Sforzando should work ok with wine.

Yes - I have been looking for a free virtual metal guitar for ages, and this one would be perfect. If only I would be able to get it working on Linux....

They are sfz, you could try if they work, maybe bit of modification (sfz file is text)

Tried again and installed Sforzando with the Wine Installer. After that I have copied the Sforzando VST (or rather the complete Plogue map) to my special VST folder. Sforzando now opens in Carla, but everything is not yet as it should be....

Well - I have got some sound and pictures now. You first have to choose an instrument and k-switch:

And then you get a GUI under "controls" :

But nothing to speak of under "effects" and "settings":

I installed sforzando, and for me it works. Using wine-6.4 staging.

To get that metal sound, you need virtual amp, like guitarix or something else.

Where can I get wine-6.4 staging? I don't see it in my Synaptic Package Manager.

I've written instructions on downgrading to Wine Staging 6.4 on both apt and Arch based distros here.

Trying to install Wine Staging didn't succeed and broke my Wine installation. I have finally got my old Wine back now, so I'm not going to try Wine Staging again. Maybe there is another solution?

The way to get the picture and GUI of MetalGTX in Sforzando is by opening METAL-GTX.bank.xml in "INSTRUMENT" in Sforzando. See:

In Carla the Metal-GTX sfz has no GUI at all, but when you put the Sforzando plugin inside Carla, and a Metal-GTX sfz inside Sforzando then you have sound and part of the GUI's. What is still missing then are the GUI pages "Settings" and "Effects" of Sforzando. But those same two GUI pages "Settings" and "Effects" are also missing in the Sforzando stand-alone version.
