  Hello everyone!
    I've got one or two questions about LV2 plugins in general.
    I've been experimenting with a couple of sound generating plugins,
 using mod-host, i.e. not using the plugins' own UIs. Now I noticed, that
 a couple of plugins did not show all their necessary controls in LV2 ports.
    Examples are the ZynAddSubFX LV2 plugin
 
http://home.gna.org/zyn/zynadd/1
    or the simple sampler by Rui:
 
http://samplv1.sourceforge.net/lv2
    In Zyn there were no LV2-control to control the engine. 
Hello Julien,
The Zyn LV2 port is fairly old, maybe it just doesn't work properly
anymore with the current LV2 standard.
  the sampler
  offered a fair deal of controls, but didn't allow
me to sample or load a
 sample. 
Afaik samplv1 doesn't allow you to load a sample when not using its own
GUI. And it doesn't have a record feature either.
Regards,
Jeremy
  I could connect an instrument to the input ports and apply the
  effects (chorus, flanger, phaser and delay) to it.
    So: is there - in theory - an LV2-port type, that allows sending
 strings - i.e. filenames. Is there another standardised way for plugins
 and their UIs to communicate? If not, are there thoughts about such
 things in the LV2 developing community for just such cases, where one
 can't or doesn't want to use the original UIs of a plugin?
    Warm regards
           Julien
