Re: [LMMS-devel] Vestige for plugins?

[Paul G. <dr...@gm...>]

I applaud your effort. Afaik, this has not been attempted. The only otherr
project I'm aware of is FST, which is actually derived from Vestige.

Let me know where this goes.

Hi!

Suppose I'm writing a GPL'd native Linux VSTi. The GPL is incompatible
with the VST SDK, so if I understand it correctly, I can't legally
distribute the binary generated from GPL code + VST SDK.

So my question is, is there an open source "Vestige for plugin
development"? The aeffectx.h included with LMMS seems to implement only
the host part.

Would you be interested in writing such an interface? It might be basic
at first, implementing only the simplest things necessary for getting a
VSTi to run. I might be able to help with reverse engineering, but I
don't want to duplicate work, so I thought I'd ask first if anything
related is already on the way.

Then there's the legality question of course. As I understand the
situation, the SDK's license forbids reverse engineering or "reworking
this specification"; but as long as we don't use the SDK, we don't have
to accept this license, so the "no reverse-engineering" clause doesn't
apply. Correct?

Greets,
Johannes
