Hi Kristof

I'm afraid I can't help specifically as I haven't used FST in a long 
time so basically no longer have any experience of it.

I regularly use GForce M-Tron Pro and Virtual String Machine, Native 
Instruments B4II and Elektrik Piano. I've not used them for a while, but 
I've used on occasions Akoustik Piano, Kore Player and GForce's Oddity.

I've found to be most successful Wine, Wine-asio and running the 
standalone .exe versions.

For Oddity and B4II as an effect (running things through the Leslie sim) 
though, I've always used as a .dll within the Cantabile Lite VST host 
and that's worked well on the whole.

Maybe the Wine route might be worth investigating.

Best wishes
