Hi,
Two brand new plugins are included in Harrison Mixbus 2.0.6: A sustainer and a
reverb named Gverb+, wich might be a gverb on steroids - both are very good.
The thing that is very special here is that this LV2 plugins are only for the
Linux version of Mixbos at he moment!
Ok, the reason may be that Linux users in general are more geekier and handles
potentially buggy new software better those in the other OSes, but it's also
another new sign that shows that the Linux desktop user is becoming more and
more interesting for commercial vendors. :-)

Thats disappointing as I was under the impression Mixbus would be
supporting LV2 on all platforms inc Win and OSX - I think we need to see
SOME support for LV2 on non-Linux (or UNIX clone) OSs if it is ever to
break free of its niche and gain more widespread support. For sure, Reaper
et al won't consider supporting LV2 if Mixbus doesn't.
Will Mixbus support LV2 on Win and OSX any time soon Ben/ Paul?

What is this sign that the Linux desktop is becoming more interesting to
commercial vendors? Mixbus? Android is a major player in mobile which I
suppose could be kinda good news for the kernel (or at least it would be if
the Android stuff re-enters kernel.org as I think Google have a separate
kernel tree for Android atm) and Linux is doing as well as ever server side
but commercial Linux desktop apps are still very much a rarity and this is
normally put down to lack of standardisation between distros and ever
changing kernel and other lib API/ABI's which doesn't look set to change
any time soon.
I know Ubuntu pissed a lot of people off with making Unity their standard
DE but I think thats going to seem like a very minor disruption compared to
Windows 8 - at least under Linux we still have KDE and XFCE etc if you
don't like Unity and GNOME 3. However, Windows 7 has proved popular and MS
will support that for some time yet even if 8 turns out to be a Fista 2 /
ME 3.

There are now many audio companies that are choosing to go the Linux route
for their hardware/software platforms. They just don't get any press
because AVID controls the media with their advertising spend even though
they are loosing over $8 million a month and are nearly $1bil in debt.
Somehow they still manage to find the funds to pay for their monopoly over
the worlds audio/digital media. It's almost like they have an unlimited
supply of cash...
Android is a major player in mobile
Not until they get realtime audio right. At the moment it's a severe
disadvantage and blocking a lot of work from going forward.

If I stick to the music related stuff, wich is a very small world in numbers
when we talk IT, this is some of the one that has started doing music software

Invada, LinuxDsp, Loomer, Indamixx, Pianoteq, Guitar Pro,
Transcribe!, MuSing, energyXT, Renoise, UltraMixer and
TrueFire (video player for guitar training)
Most of this vendors/products was not in the Linux Music lanscape until
recently. For me that has been using Linux sice the mid 90's, this is a huge
improvements, and i believe that this list will expand a lot more the upcoming

There is also soon to be Bitwig and I suppose we could also count 4front's
OSS too

I saw an article on commercial, non-FOSS software for Linux recently and
the odd thing was that the majority of the apps listed were music related -
indeed it seems Linux audio has a relative 'glut' of commercial offerings
compared to other types of app so I can only presume JACK's fame and usage
is on the rise but the Linux desktop shall remain the domain of the
computing enthusiast/ professional. I'm happy with that and I'd expect
everyone else here has grown to accept that too - there are just too
many obstacles between its acceptance for it to be any other way and the
eeePC's crappy distro and massive return rate didn't do Linux on the
desktop any favours did it?

My understanding is that they released on Linux first as a testbed for
their LV2 development. I believe they are still working on crossplatform
development of LV2 yes.
