Thats more symtom than cause - peopel tend not to build complex plugins
because you make a decent UI for them.
(I mean, yes it would be nice if LADSPA could do that
I guess. But it
can't, and I think it's a completely seperate problem to the modular
synth/polyphony/port connected problems)
Its not that LADSPA cant its just that we havent standardised a protocol.
