Definitely -- it's happened almost by stealth, but all-of-a-sudden, we
seem to have far more synth plugins as native VSTs than we do as DSSI or
LV2 plugins. It's great to see Loomer support it, and it's naturally the
format that other commercial developers would lean toward, too -- the
Pianoteq devs, for instance, have mentioned that VST would be the
easiest plugin format for them:

Talk about timing -- Pianoteq 3.6.7, which was just released, includes
32-bit and 64-bit native VSTs. There's no announcement on the website
yet, but the new version is online; the trial version, which includes
the VST plugin, is here:

I just tried it in Qtractor, and didn't have a lot of luck (I couldn't
get its GUI to appear, or get it to make noise), but the readme reports
success with Renoise and energyXT.
Thanks
