They're nice semantic triplets. Anyway, you could use DPF to auto-generate the file for you. > Where does the world stand now? I don't know about 2019, but in 2018 LV2 still sucks least of the available options. In 2019, perhaps VST3 may become an alternative, but right now Bitwig is the only Linux host to support it, and the VST-GUI API for Linux is also still in flux. ciao, robin PS. you could /steal/ some GPL code from e.g. zyn-fusion or helm. The former uses DPF, the latter a patched JUCE to export LV2, both also offer VST2 as alternative. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
