when you open/insert a plugin in qtractor you'll see the generic

is provided) you'll have to go through the "Edit" button or respective
context menu item. there you'll see some particular option to
select instrument programs and that should be the case for hexter as
well, probably (i'm not sure, can't confirm atm.)
again in qtractor, you can select the instrument/program without going
through the gui editor. while in track properties you can do that
exactly as you would do for any other midi instrument (eg. outboard
hardware) for which you have a cakewalk instrument definition file
setup. otoh, instrument plugins provide its own midi program map, no
need for a .ins definition file ;)

and what do you think is wrong with qtractor's?
under qtractor, dssi plugins are treated as any other plugin (ladspa,
vst). however as an instrument plugin (dssi, vsti) it only makes sense
when inserted in a midi track, of course.
additionally, you can chain the instrument audio audio output through
other fx plugins in-place. that's why you get to insert audio plugins
(ladspa, vst) in a midi track. ah, you can even have multiple
instrument plugins in a midi track, but remember that only the last
active one will have an audible audio output ;)
as said, you can select the midi program/instrument while in the track
properties dialog where you can choose which to assign from a
drop-down list. this is provided even without you firing up the
plugins gui, which will work as well btw :)
maybe i'm missing your point, you tell me Grammostola Rosea wrote:

(dssi) instrument access is already supported to some extent in
qtractor. after you insert a dssi plugin into a midi track you get
access to its instruments (aka midi programs) in the track
properties dialog.
try and tell me whether you have something else better in mind :)
Uh....maybe somthing like Rosegarden has it?
Maybe that's my point and maybe giving the program
no names will improve
things..(?)
no names? now i've missed it, again :/
BTW. are you planning to support LASH with your great apps?
yes, i have that plan in some dusty shelf. still waiting for this new
lash generation :P
cheers
