Hi Conrad, this is even better (and what I was probably hinting at). Presets should be then even deeper under $LADSPA_PATH/share/ladspa/presets/[plugin]/ and $LADSPA_PATH is our $PREFIX For the plugins it could be considered to further divide it into $LADSPA_PATH/lib/ladspa/ producers/ (no input, just outputs = synths, audio-ins, file-ins) operators/ (input and outputs = fx) consumers/ (inputs, but no outputs = audio-outs, file-outs, analysers)
