i am very sorry to say that in this forum.
but the vst API is a superset of all APIs we have for linux.

the only bad thing about vst is that its not clearly documented, and
most plugins are crippled shareware.

i am very sad to see myself switching to vsti synths, simply because a
vsti is transport aware !


again, it is not possible to replace the synth i am currently playing
with a dssi plug.
