Hi Filipe,

Thanks for the reply. Alas, some of the problematic plugins I tested 
were from the DISTRHO collection (specifically the TAL reverbs 2 and 3 
and the TAL vocoder. I tested the prebuilt binaries, btw. Perhaps a 
local build would be preferable ? I have the latest JUCE framework and 
the VST 2.4 SDK, on an Arch 64-bit system.

Also, I wanted to add a "Thank you" for those ports and I hope you're 
inspired to make more of them. :)

Best,

dp
