HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS

VST plugins are virtual instruments and effects that you can use in productions. They can recreate classic synth designs, or represent completely new ways of making sound. VST plugins are easy to use; download them, install, and your DAW will pick them up and let you use them in the workstation. From classic instruments to experimental indie gems, there’s a huge world of both paid and free VST plugins to choose from. Native has spent decades creating and developing some of the world’s leading VST plugins with REAKTOR, KONTAKT, KOMPLETE KONTROL, and loads more.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS FOR SYNTH SOUNDS

VST plugins can be used in a wide variety of ways to create synth sounds for songwriting and production. Almost any instrument can be turned into a VST plugin, and more often than not, when you need a certain kind of sound there’s a VST plugin for it. There are several varieties of VST plugins for synth sounds that are worth noting. Polyphonic VST plugins create more than one note at a time, so are great for building complex melodies, chords, and harmonies, while monophonic VST plugins play one note at a time and are commonly used for basslines. Some VST plugins strictly model themselves on reproducing sounds you would expect from analogue instruments, but others go way beyond that. Wavetable VST plugins like MASSIVE and MASSIVE X tend to focus on helping producers create something unusual and completely different to traditional instruments, and can be more useful for experimental productions than other VST plugins.

HOW TO USE MULTIPLE VST PLUGINS

Trying things out and exploring new territory is hugely important when trying to craft something unique, and using multiple VST plugins will give you a wide range of instruments and sounds to work with. Chaining multiple VST plugins together sis a typical way to start crafting a sound you can call your own. Feeding one VST plugin instrument into a VST plugin effect will alter them even further. This is also common with digital production as lots of recording tools come in VST plugin form – there’s no issue with running multiple VSTs at once – simply load them in and start playing. Native offers over 2,000 free sounds and more than 6 GB of free VST plugin content with KOMPLETE START, so if you’re looking for some inspiration it’s a great way to get started.

Recently I’ve had lengthy discussions with a friend about how good 80s era synths like the Roland D-50 and the Yamaha DX7 sounded. Neither of us had the budget, space and, more importantly in my case, the talent for one of these beasts so I started to have a look for some emulators. There’s very little for the D-50 but the original ROMs for the DX7 are readily available online and the Dexed soft synth gets some good reviews. One of my usual YouTube haunts – Woody’s Piano Shack – has a comparison of dexed against a real DX-7:

I wanted to use Dexed as part of my LMMS setup and the usual way of doing this is by using a VST plugin. The Dexed GitHub releases page has a number of pre-built plugins so I had a quick check in the LMMS manual as to what to do next …

VST plugins on LMMS – part 1

Fortunately there’s a useful page on the LMMS wiki about plugins. The not so good news is that “… Because most VSTs are written to be Windows compatible, VSTs tend to work better on Windows LMMS installations. Linux LMMS installations require Wine installed before these plugins can be used.”

Hmm, OK, I’ve not really played much with Wine and I’ve heard mixed reviews about it but I’m willing to give it a go. The other key bit of information is that you need 32 bit VSTs and not the 64 bit versions.

Wine Install

In the past I’ve found that installing Wine was a bit hit or miss and, to be honest, I never got it to do anything useful other than run Notepad or Minesweeper. However this was a few years ago and the Wine website now has a dedicated page for some distributions. The one for Ubuntu looked straightforward enough with just a few commands to be run.

To my slight surprise it worked absolutely perfectly with no problems and I soon had Wine installed. Back to the VST …

VST plugins on LMMS – part 2

The wiki page very sensibly recommends that you start with a known working VST so I downloaded the recommended instrument and followed the instructions. Again I had no problems and the Wine initialisation automatically download the Gecko libraries so as to display the VST and I soon had the synth up and running. Note that the GUI that I saw was different from that on the wiki page ( left ) but it works fine.

There is another LMMS wiki page listing Tested VSTs but I found that not all of the supposedly tested ones worked on my Wine installation.

The Dexed installer for Windows is a .exe file and I ran that using a simple Wine command:

The normal Windows installer dialogs were shown and both a standalone and 64/32 bit VST plugins were installed. By default the Wine home directory is under “.wine” in your home directory and I copied the 32 bit VST dll ( called Dexed.dll ) from there into the area where I normally store the VSTs and started LMMS.

The Dexed plugin loaded fine and I soon had a virtual DX7 running. However there’s one more step to get the full retro sound and that is to load the original factory presets. For some reason these are not loaded as default but the Dexed home page “Cartridge Manager” section has a link to a recommended compilation of cartridges. The comments in the YouTube video above point to the DXCARTFO directory and this contains a file called CART1A.SYX which seems to provide the right sounds. I had to add the DXCARTFO to the Applications Data directory under Wine for it to be picked up properly, this is something like:

After that it’s 80s synth pop all the way 🙂

Woody also has two other great videos exploring the different DX7 sounds which are well worth listening to: Low pass filter vst free.
