No, they definitely are.  LV2 plugins are entirely separate from their GUIs.  I suppose it&#39;s technically possible that someone could make a plugin that is dependent on its GUI to function, but that would be nonstandard, and everyone would hate them for it unless they had good reason to do so.  Right now, I&#39;m pretty sure that the only plugins that require their GUI are those whose main function is to display something.<div>

Hello SM!<br>
  I&#39;m not sure, but if they took features of the already existing DSSI in consideration - and they took a lok at VST - then UIs should already be seperate from the DSP/engine code. I think, that&#39;s how, they are used in that test plugin host. But that may all be complete bollocks on the other hand, since I&#39;m just guessing based on a few facts I know.<div>
