vital doesn't work
Luckily, since most of Vital is open source, there is a nearly identical clone of it called Vitalium. It is contained in the distrho-ports plugin bundle here, which I highly recommend installing. Here it can be compiled locally, and thus correctly.

Vitalium is the fork that removes the store etc.

Anyone got the sfizz vst3 plugin to work in bitwig on linux?
sfizz (https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz), which loads sfz multisamples and is open source, comes as vst3 plugin, and it can be installed in manjaro, but I haven't been able to use it in bitwig yet.
- Any free samplers that auto-assign to the keys samples are named as?

How do I change an instrument sound in the mixer? No options shows up in the mixer sound menu? 🤔
You could install a VST (like sfizz) and whatever soundfonts you'd like to use (Musical Artifacts is a great site to find some), then pull up the VST to switch instruments.

Sfizz in LMMS Linux
So I'm trying to migrate to Linux and want to use the VSCO Community Orchestra Pack. On the site it recommends using sfizz to load the files. So, I've gone to their website, installed as the sfizz website instructed... But there's nothing? Nothing in LMMS or anything showing up on my system. I'm assuming there's some piece of software I'm missing here.
