[LAD] Some LV2 news

...for those who do not follow the LV2 mailing list. 1. EVENTS There is an extension for sending arbitrary events to and from plugin ports here: http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/event#EventPort This extension specifies how to send MIDI events using those ports: http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/midi#MidiEvent MIDI event support is implemented in Elven, Ingen, lv2_jack_host (and more?) and a couple of experimental plugins (a virtual keyboard, a basic drum machine, some MIDI utilities, some synths). There is no published OSC event type spec yet, but there are experimental hosts that are sending OSC to and from plugins and GUIs using the event ports. 2. UIS Here is an extension that defines a framework for embedded LV2 (G)UIs: http://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui So far there is only a Gtk+ 2.0 GUI type specified, but others would be easy to add if someone writes up a spec for them. This is supported by Elven, Ingen (and more?) and a couple of plugins (e.g. above mentioned virtual keyboard and synths). There are also a bunch of other extensions for port grouping, saving and restoring the internal state of a plugin, and other stuff. See http://lv2plug.in for more information.
