OK. Now it comnes up as long as I don't have anything
in /usr/local/lib/vst. Do you have an example of a free (as in beer)
VST plugin that is known to work?
Sure. Check out Ambience, which is a great reverb plugin.
Unfortunately, the plugin settings are not restored when you reload a
session, but that seems to be peculiar to this plugin, not VSTs in
general.
Download Ambience here: http://magnus.smartelectronix.com/
It's a fully functional Demo version with a nag screen.
