Renoise supports LV2 under Windows does it? I know Renoise is about the most respected tracker available today and its certainly a start but we'd really need to see LV2 support appearing in more conventional DAWs- renoise being a kinda halfway house between something like Cubase and Csound it doesn't have mass appeal to the point n' click brigade of which I'm largely a member of when it comes to music apps.
It does seem that LV2 is winning in mind-share and support on this list and that DSSI has largely been dismissed as an also ran now. I neglected to mention native VSTs in my original post. I'm aware qtractor supports these but I'm not really interested in qtractor until TYOQTA event/release actually happens- I did have a quick go at getting the TAL VSTs working under Dreamstudio's qtractor a while back but had no luck and didn't bother pursuing it any further. Besides, I've just been searching my mail when I quizzed Rui about the native VST support and he mentioned a problem or two that I can't quite recall now that I presume still exists?
If we can get native VSTs working reliably under qtractor and hopefully A3 ( http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=3278 ) then that'd be fantastic and would certainly open the floodgates to many more good plugins, free or otherwise. It was good to get some feedback from linuxdsp and I would expect there'll be more demand for such products when A3 gets released and qtractor matures to the point of being able to cater for a wider audience.
I personally see ladish and JS a stop-gap measures until we have a decent collection of LV2 plugins- they ease what was a very tedious and complex procedure but they're essentially solutions for a problem we hopefully won't have in a few years. They are certainly a huge boon for people who want to use the current linux synth offerings - none of which are planning LV2 ports sadly AFAIK.
Multiple dozens of VSTs ported to LV2? Where? I think I can count the VST to LV2 ports on one hand so far but none of them really grabbed my interest.
Led Zep 'electronic music'?? Erm, no.
