Hello everyone, I don't recall posting here in the past, although I have several hundred LAD mails in .Mail... Nice to meet you, anyway. I've been looking at fst, and was going to package it for Ubuntu. I had used dssi-vst in the past. My big problem is this: neither of the two save current settings for kontakt, my sampler of choice (there is no free equivalent, as far as I can tell, or I would use it). I've now decided that fst has better long-term potential to do what I need, mainly due to 1) lash support 2) not having to work through DSSI, which probably cripples its ability to be able to save ALL parameters. It would seem that fst doesn't have full VST 2.0 support, from looking at the source code. I've never written anything remotely VST-related, but would like to add such support to fst. I see Kjetil S. Matheussen's name in the source for vsti.c. I'm hoping he has some guidance for me. Kjetil, and LAD's in general, can you confirm my observations, and do you have an opinion on whether or not my goal is feasible? thanks, Forest
