I hear what you are saying Thorgal but Wine is going to be a necessary evil for quite some time. We already have LV2, LADSPA, linuxDSP, FST and DSSI, If people aren’t satisfied with those thousands of plugin choices, they ain’t gonna be satisfied with LVST either. Linux expresses it’s freedom in a very “proprietary” way sometimes I also like linuxDSP’s approach, make it a JACK client that will work with anything JACK does, none of this crap with installing Headers and SDKs. What is the issue with LV2 and a lack of support from the Linux Audio Community? It’s native, it’s stable it’s light years ahead of LADSPA in the GUI (a long way to go though). I’m not a fan of what I’ve seen in LVST so far, a lot of reheated old Windows VST’s… the only promising thing is the Jucetice guy and now this. Isn’t LinuxVST still encumbered by all the Steinberg SDK Licence BS? I don’t see any bright future if we keep on relying on wine. But really, the hackery and wizardery involved in wine will always plague ardour’s support. I understand that many ppl using ardour would also like to use their win32 VST collection. My opinion on the matter is that supporting win32 VSTs is a bit of a burden for ardour. I don’t know whether ardour3 will support linux VST. neither dssi nor lv2 due to what they think are plugin architecture design complications). I believe Modartt would liek to turn it into a linux VST (i.e. There’s a discussion thread on their forum (pianoteq on linux). Now the question is which plugin format to adopt for linux. If you asked me, they deserve the success and income they derive from it. Pianoteq is not a piano, it’s an “infinite” number of instruments And they keep improving it at Modartt. The dev told me that the early prototypes of pianoteq were designed on linux boxes (but the market is somewhere else and the use of JUCE made the linux port easy. So I asked for a linux version and gave a lot of feedback.

Worked great but I dislike wine in general, it’s a layer that I really find annoying to use on a linux system. I had alrady a user licence and used pianoteq via wine and wineasio.

I tested a beta version before its final release and had a close communication with the main dev. I was a bit behind the push for the linux version
