The vsti program implements a standard alsa sequencer (just as the
jack_fst program, which infact use the code from vsti (which again use
the code from jack-rack :))), so it is definitely possible to get access
from seq24. Just use aconnect, kaconnect, qjackctl or something to
connect the vsti instrument and seq24. Infact, it should be much simpler
than from pd. I think one of us must have misunderstood something here.

The problem is that seq24 will not start with vsti running.
Another problem is in muse, if I have two vsti s running they are only
selectable as one instrument... the pd plugin seems to offer more
flexibility with respect to these problems, but I agree it is quite
fiddly.

You probably want "vsti" from Kjetil Matheussen (using vstserver) or
"jack_fst" from Paul Davis and Torben Hohn (using libfst). Either of
these will run a VSTi with GUI as a standalone JACK/ALSA app that can
then be driven as an ALSA sequencer client from a MIDI source.
You can get vsti at http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/, or jack_fst at
http://linuxaudiosystems.com/fst/ . I have never tried vsti, but I
have used both vstserver-for-plugins and jack_fst with good results.

I use vsti for auditioning vsts but I find that the k_vst~ plugin for pd
offers more functionality, and also is accessible from seq24 (which is
not the case with vsti).
