That's true if you run VSTs in jack_fst, vstserver, or via dssi-vst in jack-dssi-host. But dssi-vst also allows you to use VSTs directly as plugins in Rosegarden -- VST effects show up exactly like LADSPA effects, VST instruments show up as synth plugin instruments. When I've talked about dssi-vst on this and other lists in the past, I've mentioned that it had some limitations that restricted its use for VST plugins with complex GUIs, because of the way it mapped the VST structure (plugin containing its own GUI) onto the DSSI one (plugin and GUI separate). Those limitations were removed in dssi-vst 0.3 -- now dssi-vst is as complete a host as jack_fst or vstserver (I believe). Chris
