REAPER has no native bridge to run Windows VSTs on Linux, but there are a few third-party tools that will accomplish the job. They are:
LinVST (Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit and Debian Stretch)Airwave (AMD64.deb and x86_64.pkg.tar.xz)Carla (ArchLinux and Debian / Ubuntu)
All of these third-party tools rely on Wine to provide OS support to the plug-ins, and your mileage is definitely going to vary. Some VST plug-ins will work flawlessly, others will be a disaster. Please be aware that we are providing basic guides to setting up these tools – for in-depth troubleshooting, you should consult the particular tools manual.
Windows VSTs in LinVST:
Download the LinVST version for your environment – either the embedded Window version or the standalone version, though the embedded version is likely the default choice for most users.Copy all of the Lin-VST-server files from the version that was installed to your /usr/bin pathway.Make a folder to place all of your Windows VSTs inside of.In LinVST’s convert folder, start the linvstconvert, and then choose the linvst.so from the version folder.Point linvstconvert to the folder you created that contains all of your Windows VSTs, then hit the Start (Convert) button.Start up REAPER DAW and add your Windows VSTs folder to the plug-ins folder in REAPER’s settings.
