Dear bluebell,
So … forget it with Linux.
I'm not going to throw in the towel that quickly
.
Even if it may be very bold and an adventurous auxiliary construction, but a few years ago I got the Aria player to work under Ubuntu 16.04 using wine without any problems. Since Rosengarden supports Vst via dssi-vst
DSSI synth and audio effects plugin support, including Windows VST effects and instrument support via dssi-vst
Rosegarden-Features
and the Aria player in turn supports Vst,
If you choose to include the VST plug-in during the ARIA Player installation, you are prompted to specify the location where you want to place it.
Aria-Player
is there perhaps a glimmer of hope after all, I only needed wine for the installation, right?
