Question about Rosegarden vst and synth plugins

[shantiq]

Hi totally new here and a user of Rosegarden on which I write midi compositions ; a sample of which is here

Once upon a time I used Cubase and the amazing vst's Safwan Matni has designed

Now I have managed to make the vst's visible on a 32-bit install of Ubuntu 16.04 [not visible on a 64] but my question now is how do I hear them? What do i have to do to get sound out of them? Question would also apply to digital synths generally as they seem to be used in the same way

I post two images to illustrate current predicament

Hope someone here knows the answer to this question
Thanx


Shan

PS also running a thread on Ubuntuforums covering same question

ha ok worked it out ... and computing the info for anyone else who might need it later :]
vst's used to be a no-no on Linux but with this dssi-vst piece of kit it becomes very smooth







To summarize:

➊

Code: Select all

sudo apt install dssi-vst jack wine

➋ store vst's in /home/username/vst or /usr/local/lib/vst or /usr/lib/vst
➌ make sure your Ubuntu is a 32-bit ; I cannot see these on a 64-bit install
[please say if you know a way through on 64 there must be a way]
➍ click on manage synths plugins drop-down box
➎ fire up qjackctl
➏ no way to export natively to an audio file
so use jack_capture [commandline software]

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install jack-capture

then:

Code: Select all

 jack_capture -b 24 -f flac
