Thanks guys,for your ideas and further help. Robert, sounds interesting. When I select "seq" as MIDI Device in QJackCtl, I can control the VST with my keyboard (starting it with FST), however I still cannot record it in MusE. Robert provided an alternative option to run windows VSTs, namely dssi-vst. I just installed the newest version from source, there is one thing left to solve. When I type this in my terminal: pieter@s061123:~$ export DSSI_PATH=/usr/local/lib/dssi pieter@s061123:~$ export VST_PATH=/home/pieter/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programme/Steinberg/Vstplugins/Soundbytes pieter@s061123:~$ jack-dssi-host dssi-vst.so:HurdyGurdyLE.dll This message is printed: jack-dssi-host: Error: Plugin label "HurdyGurdyLE.dll" not found in library "dssi-vst.so" Even though the dll is present in the directory specified as VST_PATH! I assume this is due to the presence of a colon-character in the VST_PATH? When I move the dll to /home/pieter/vst (default VST_PATH, after I cleared the VST_PATH variable), it is found but it complains it isn't installed yet (because I installed the VST with Wine in some wine directory). I doubt it whether it is a good idea to install the VST in the /home/pieter/vst directory...? Should I configure dssi-vst in some way, such that it actually uses the path in the VST_PATH?
