REAPER for Linux: native linux plugins
This thread is dedicated to the use of native Linux plugins and how to run them in reaper.
Discussions about running Windows VSTs on Linux are on topic in: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=193761 At the time of writing REAPER supports its builtin plug-ins (REA/JS) and Linux VST2/3 plug-ins. Linux however has more plug-in formats, like LADSPA, DSSI and LV2. Hopefully support for more formats will be added at a later date, but for the moment you can use a plug-in host like Carla http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applications:Carla to run them. A list of native Linux VST plugins can be found at: http://linux-sound.org/linux-vst-plugins.html

Tried Carla Rack vst in Reaper with the newest ladspa Guitarix, using
GxAmplifier-X, and some typical GX plugins, without problems, and with nice results. The plugins have some nice colorful gui's, and Carla's dark default theme looks nice with most anything. All in all, a very easy and effective way forward for guitarists, with a steady stream of new/improved plugins, and the main guitarix app getting new releases several times a year. Added the U-he Protoverb, and zyn-reverb for some nice tube screamer ambience. Cheers |

Oh how I wish I could use Guitarix as a real plugin without Carla/JACK

FWIW, I made some realtime support for linvst, that's not in the main repo. But I've played back a stereo track and recorded through Amplitube at 64 samples buffer and Guitarrig at 128 (or was it vice versa) for hours without xruns. osxmidi also added realtime support implemented differently in the latest release, but you need to build it with a special makefile or command line argument. Maybe that will make your amp sims run better at low latency.

Has any one tried the zynaddsubfx vst plugins in reaper?
I only get the gui for zynaddsubfx itself, for all the other plugins I just get the generic reaper gui. I did rebuild them myself with ntk support, as it appears that the default package on archlinux isn't suitable for vst guis.

The guitarix plugins dsp code is written in the faust language, so it should be straightforward to create vst plugins using faust-vst, alas without the nice guis.

I just found the following wrapper that allows running lv2 plugins in reaper: https://github.com/x42/lv2vst
Unfortunately it doesn't support guitarix, but many other plugins work like some x42-plugins, and avl drums.

Pity that it doesn't support all lv2 plugins with GUI, but I think this was more of a proof of concept, and would have required substantially more work to make it run everything with a full GUI.
Still very nice. So far I have it running most X42-plugins and AVL Drumkits with a full GUI. Waiting for reaper to add support for lv2, I guess that would work on Win/OSX and Linux.

Since I bought mixbus32c + essentials the other day I thought I'd try. It seems that more or less all of them work in reaper with GUI using this wrapper. The x42 meter plugins have to be built with make EXTERNALUI=no, and the meters using a VU type GUI don't display properly. This is no big hardship for me, as I don't see what use a VU display is in a DAW.

AFAIK for video, you'd need to install vlc 2.x or ffmpeg v2/3. If your distro has newer versions, you might be able to install a "legacy" package that contains older run time libs.
Actually I'm in the same spot right now (on archlinux) as I installed ffmpeg v4, and then stupidly deleted an older legacy package I had installed which made video work. Still have to fix that, but no time to look at it just now.

Could someone please check if midi learn works in the latest u-he plugins?
https://www.reddit.com/r/UheOnLinux/...bra2_rev_7468/ I can't get it to work, but maybe I'm doing something wrong, as it's something I never use.

Zebra2 rev7468 MIDI learn
Hi Jack,
MIDI learn does not work with the VST3 Zebra2 rev7468. It does work with the VST2 instrument. I'm using REAPER5 with a Beat Step Pro. |

Hmm, what do I have to do to get it working? I have a midi keyboard with pitch bend and modulation wheels, would that be enough?
