LMMS/Wine Problem

I am trying to use LMMS, the DAW that comes with Zorin (DAW=Digital Audio Workstation). I am using it with Wine so I can use "sfz," a Windows synthesizer, or player, that can host and play high quality midi files. The problem is that I can't open sfz, because it does not appear in the instrument list. The LMMS manual says this may be due to a problem with Wine, and to check with Zorin. Anyone have any idea what to do about this?

Hi, Zorin are not the folks to deal with Wine problems. Either checkout winehq.org or visit any forum that lmms has. ;) :D

Ah yes, the perils of letting machines think for us. And now they want us to accept driverless cars...

No problem, I got there. I may try uninstalling LMMS and reinstalling from their website. There were several instrument players missing, not just the one I needed, so it may not have installed correctly.
