[linux-audio-user] ANN: JOST, a simple host for native VST

Hi there, The italian DJ and Developer Lucio Asnaghi has made a first preview of simple host for native VST on Linux. Native VST for Linux was founded first by Jorgen Aase /EnergyXT2, but the communication is problematic (also other devs reported that Jorgen didn't anwer to any mail), so Lucio decided to make an own host, based on the framework JUCE , because he porting a lot of VST Synths to Linux. (he also made a great port from ZynAdd Windows VST back to Linux VST) It shall be released in March under an open licence. He will build up this small host JOST (Jack hOST) to a instrumentrack with basic sequencer functions. Later he will build up a full sequencer named "Juggler", which should be near to the commercial Tracktion. (JUCE is the framework behind Tracktion1) You can download the first preview from the website of the autor. http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/index.php?entry=entry070225-170635 The best native Linux VST plugins for testing JOST are the mdaSuite: http://www.energy-xt.com/download/mda_linux.tar.gz More information about JUCE, Tracktion and Julian Storer http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/ regards, Michael .:www.jacklab.net:.
