Yabridge VST and VST3 On Linux Definitive Tool

Yabridge is a tool that allows users to run Windows VST and VST3 plugins on Linux. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit plugins. The article provides steps to install Wine, download and extract Yabridge, add VST plugin folders, sync the plugins, and then scan them from a DAW like Ardour or Reaper. While Yabridge works well, the author prefers using native Linux plugins when possible.

Yabridge: VST and VST3 on linux definitive


tool
Nicola Landro Oct 1 · 2 min read

Although I start using linvst I’m converted to yabridge defintly, because it support
vst2 and vst3 at 32 bit and 64 bit togheder and it also have a clean manage of plugisn:
you can add some folder and after you can scann for plugins and it create
automatically the .so files.

I made this guide starting from this video tutorial but I do not use a gui.

Install Wine
Follow this guide:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org


/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.keysudo add-apt-repository 'deb
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'
sudo apt update
# sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable wine-stable
wine-stable-i386 libasound2-plugins:i386sudo apt install

Download yabridge
You can see releases there

wget https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge/releases/download
/3.5.2/yabridge-3.5.2-ubuntu-18.04.tar.gz
tar -xvzf yabridge-3.5.2-ubuntu-18.04.tar.gz

Add a fonder and sync


Set the folder in witch it create the linux usable plugins

~/yabridge/yabridgectl set --path=<path>

After ad your folders with vst or vst3 plugins, how many you want

~/yabridge/yabridgectl add <vst_folder>

Run a sync to create files

~/yabridge/yabridgectl sync

So from Ardour or Reaper you can scan vst and see the vst plugin. Also Carla can
import manually this plugins.

Conclusion
This is definitely the best way to use windows VST and VST3 on linux, but I prefer to
use linux native plugin so if you use a newest plugin you can ask to the producer to
compile the VST3 for linux beacuse is free and easy for him, I think that in the future
linux can have to many plugins.

Enjoy your music and press to obtain linux version of plugins!
