Excellent, I'll add all of those. I didn't have any luck with the first 
two either, but Qin is a nice little find.

Definitely -- it's happened almost by stealth, but all-of-a-sudden, we 
seem to have far more synth plugins as native VSTs than we do as DSSI or 
LV2 plugins. It's great to see Loomer support it, and it's naturally the 
format that other commercial developers would lean toward, too -- the 
Pianoteq devs, for instance, have mentioned that VST would be the 
easiest plugin format for them:
