U-he native linux Diva is working in Carla

and if you grab the latest qtractor from git (v0.6.4.8 attotw.) you can also run VST-shell sub-plugins like the u-he Zebra et al.

If you get some free time, could you elaborate on defining VST-shell sub plugin

afaict. a VST-shell plugin is the VST way to "bundle" more than one plugin type under the same .dll (win) or .so (linux).

Does this mean that it is possible to include effects in a vst instrument gui,
that are actually separate plugins, just wrapped and controlled with one skin?

I've got all the u-he plugins working in a recent Ardour nightly: 3.5.4040 and kxstudio 14.04. I learned that you have to tell Ardour to scan for VSTs using Edit->Preferences->Plugin. Also for some reason ~/.vst was not scanned so I moved all the plugin symlinks to /usr/lib/vst from ~/.vst (actually, u-he installer puts them in ~/.vst/u-he but I had moved them to ~/.vst which worked for Ardour 3.5.403, but 3.5.403 does not support all u-he plugins (Zebra, Uhbik).

Does the clic right on knobs work for you on Satin or Presswerk (i didn't try the others) ?

EDIT: Well, the problem i had is fixed with the last nighty build of Ardour3.

i guess so, as far as the plugins developer/vendor decides to make it so. although not exclusive to vst instruments. any type of plugin applies.

ps. i must tell you that i'm no expert on this subject whatsoever. but that doesn't stop me to find the vst-shell programming interface yet another bad and ugly design anti-pattern. in fact, imho. the whole vst spec is an infamous paradigm of design anti-patterns
