Does anyone know how to get sforzando and decent sampler working with LMMS on linux without jumping through hoops while grabbing your left ear with your right foot?
The standalone versions work just fine...
But they are useless to me if I can't use it with LMMS.
I managed to get sfz banks working with lmms by adding liquidsfz as a vst2 and loading it with carla but it sucks ass, I want to be able to use the functionality that sforzando has, such as adding a custom scala file in order to tune it, this is the whole reason I want to use it.
And loading it with liquidsfz gives me no options at all, and I would be better off just converting the sfz to sf2 through polyphone. Which is also a PITA. Maybe some other sampler would work? One that actually has install instructions other than "install it from source lol"?

"Switch to a better DAW" you might say. But which one? That works well on linux, is relatively simple, is free as in free beer, and is not for ants? I tried installing some demos of other linux daws but was unable to read or find anything on the screen and got frustrated after 30seconds. (I have frustration tolerance of a literal 5year old, not exagerating)
"I should go back to playing guitar"- oh wait i cant cause my hands are busted. Welp
