I do not know much about LMMS so I cannot help you there. As for Ardour a basic intro is here: http://en.flossmanuals.net/Ardour/Introduction/
Look at the "Using Plugins" section - you need to create a midi track and insert the Pianoteq plugin. Ardour looks for LV2 plugins in the directories defined in environment variable LV2_PATH. Typically, this might be /usr/lib/lv2. You need to install the Pianoteq lv2 plugin to this directory. There are lots of Ardour tutorials on youtube.

Thanks for the reply.
I tryed to configure ardour but I don't find the correct feature for select external vst or lv2.
For lmms, I copied Pianoteq.so under the vst plugin but how I select this vst from the interface?
There are some how-to?

Thanks

Concerning Ardour you need Ardour3 to support midi plugins. You can use either the lv2 or linux vst version or the plugin with Ardour3.

With lmms you can only use the linux vst version. You to not use vestige which is use when working with Windows VSTs which is not required because Pianoteq and a native linux VST. You need to set the VST directory in LMMS in the Edit->Setting->Path to point to the directory where you have installed the Pianoteq plugin. In linux systems linux VSTs are commonly installed to /usr/lib/vst, but this may vary by distribution. Also, if you rename the Pianoteq vst plugin to "Pianoteq_2chan.so" then Pianoteq will create a 2-channel plugin, rather the default 5-channel plugin.

Hi,
I want to use pianoteq on my linux sistem with ardour or lmms.
With vestige under lmms I'm unable to load pianoteq because I cant't find the VST lib file.
How I can use pianoteq under that software?
Is it possible or pianoteq is only a standalone software?

Thanks a lot
