Hi Petr,

First off, welcome to the forums and congratulations as you're the very fisrt one to post here. No joking, actually i's highly appretiated.

The plan to extend support to other plugin specifications, other than currently just LADSPA, is somewhat on hold atm. It's just because I'm busy with fitting other basic features in qtractor. Time is scarse but that you already know :)

When things get steadier I will grasp to the joy of having DSSI and LV2 support too. The biggest question hurdle about VST support is about licensing and distribution. I guess the DSSI-VST workaround as seen in Rosegarden comes to the rescue but IANAL.

Another big question deals to which kind of VST support is desired. I'm still not sure whether it should be like having linux native VSTs as in eg. JOST or taking the full blown win32/wine path. Anyway the later should be supported as long DSSI-VST goes in, isn't it?

Have that and more wishes coming. Bugs are not so welcome :) but you know the drill: I'm sure there are plenty so why pretend there aren't?

Cheers.
