If there were LADSPA for Windoze, that'd be even better. It's sad that there is so much great free stuff for VST, and only a few (very high-quality, but relatively few) effects and softsynths for LADSPA.
FYI: LADSPA for Windows can be done fairly easy. For a while, I have been maintaining a Windows port of the Aqualung music player, and recently I have added LADSPA support into the port, along with a ported set of TAP-plugins. Cross-compiling LADSPA plugins into Windows DLLs with mingw is pretty straightforward IMO; the only thing I have changed in TAP-plugins was the Makefile. I have simplified the metadata scheme from RDF files to using some simple text files, mainly for minor technical reasons. However, the core of LADSPA is fully working. For a downloadable installer capable of demoing LADSPA on Windows, check out http://aqualung.sf.net/win32 I don't want to get the word out just yet, as we are preparing for a release due in a few weeks' time, but those interested might look at it right away. But please keep in mind that the software is officially still unreleased, thus incomplete and buggy. :) Tom
