yummy! i've been using calf git for a while, but it feels kind of icky to do a project with those plugins, especially since i got shot in the foot by you guys before when you threw out the hi- and lowpass plugs that i had been using in several sessions, on almost every track...
The modular-synth ones? You shouldn't have been using those in first place, unless it was an Ingen project or some other LV2-based modular, if such a thing exists.
In that case - it might be worthwhile to find a maintainer for these plugins as a separate project, as I already have difficulty maintaining the core set due to lack of time. I'd say that for most people, those plugins generally weren't very useful and only polluted the plugin list.
after an inconspicuous "git pull", i had piles and piles of "missing plugin" errors in ardour and everything sounded crap :( goes to show: there is a reason why pre-release software hasn't been released yet. i lived and learned :)
I thought the fact that these plugins required --enable-experimental to be compiled in first place, and that they didn't even support stereo signals, was enough of a warning. In worst case, you can always revert to an old version, that still had those plugins.
However, in new projects, you should use Calf Filter instead. It is stable, supports stereo and isn't going to be dropped in the near future. It also does some things that you'd find desirable in this kind of a plugin, for example the smoothing of cutoff value, avoiding some of the "scratchy knob noise".
