Nigel. > Nigel, I don't know the status of dssi-vst, but it sticks in my mind (and this was quite some time ago) that it didn't handle GUIs at all. It only worked with VSts that ran in the backgorund or could run without a GUI. I was surprised that this was useful, but I was told on the Rosegarden list that there were numerous VSTs that worked this way. Anyway, I've not used it and up until now thought that it was a pretty specialized piece of software. I could be very wrong about everything above. From my POV, all Windows VST's of interest to me includes some part of a GUI for control. It has been my thought that to get this GUI I must run Wine, in one form or another. Possibly I'm wrong about that or possibly DSSI has new capabilities. Let us know what you find out. Cheers, Mark
