No. I am not aware of any notable plugins for OS X that are available
only in VST format, or rather, *not* available in AU format. Apple
ensured by that their own exclusion of VST support from some notable
programs of their own. A few independent plugin developers rely on
users using VST<->AU bridges (such as those made by FXpansion), and we
would basically be doing the same thing, but as a host.
* Be able to save a session using lxvsts like
NoiseMaker under A3 Linux then
open that session under A3 OSX if we have the correct VSTs installed or may
lxvsts be incompatible with a Mac native VST(i)?
given the above, basically no.
* Least unlikely I know but would there be any chance
I could save a project
using Linuxsampler as a LV2 under A3 Linux then load the same project using
the AU version of Linuxsampler under OSX?
yes. absolutely no reason why this would not work.
