It needs to be VST as it has to be multi-platform and work with all common DAWs.

Or does some kind of wrapper exist to use a LV2 in VST compatible DAWs?

I know pizmidi are a collection of vst midi plugins, so checking out its source might serve as documentation. Thanks will check it out, but as I said, reading source code (unless it's full of comments) does not help me a lot at my skill-level. Documentation for VST SDK has always been lackluster, i...

Thanks falkTX, that's a starting point for me, but if anybody knows of proper documentation or a tutorial and could post a link to it, it would be even better.

I have been searching everywhere but I can't find a tutorial or some documentation that explains how the VST API is used to write pure MIDI plugins (such as synth editors). All I can find is examples and tutorials on how to write sound plugins. Purely looking at source code of existing MIDI plugins ...

It also seems a very popular service these days, especially amongst Windows users, so it could mean more people with a casual interest asking questions and engaging which can only be a good thing. I have never used discord and have no idea what it is but my impression of kxstudio is that it aims to...

If I went to view everything as you say, then I'd have to stop using youtube, twitch, vimeo and other video platforms. That's a completely unfitting example. These are public web sites usable with any modern browser (including opensource browsers), therefore not proprietary at all but rather based ...

In that case a forum like this one is the better option for them. Still don't see the reason for some proprietary cloud service.

IMHO IRC is just fine. IRC chats can be archived and stored as web pages that can be indexed by search engines too (so that if any good tips or solutions to problems get posted in the chat they can be found by other people in future too), there are bots available for that. People don't even need a s...

This is true for any cloud-side platform though, that was my point before... When someone hosts a service for you, that someone else has control over your data - does not matter if the underlying code is open or not. And even in opensource platforms, they can sometimes drop legacy or random feature...

By proprietary I mean not based on open and standard protocols to which you can connect with any client that implements the open standard. IRC and XMPP are examples of open platforms, Whatsapp, Skype and Discord are examples of proprietary platforms. Any platform that requires you to use their clien...

I find a forum topic a lot more appropriate than some proprietary chat solution.

So I bet that complying with the GPL won't be at the top of their todo list... Before starting to throw around random GPL violation accusations maybe you should re-read and truly understand the GPL licensing terms. The GPL only obliges them to provide the source code to whom they provide the binari...

That's hardly open source, it's simply a user customizable feature that they wrongly call open source to attract attention.

Besides that at €2000 with only one LFO and without even an aftertouch keyboard it's way overpriced.

not the linux ALSA driver as I can select and record only the two SPDIF channels arecord is doing what BackupBand does. You ask the app for 2 chans. Alsa driver says "Sorry it's 10 channels or nothing." So the app replies "THen gimme 10 chans. As the data (0 values or "digital s...

Jeff thanks for your reply but the problem is not the linux ALSA driver as I can select and record only the two SPDIF channels just fine when using ALSA directly with 'arecord' or even with 'mhwaveedit'. The problem is in the portaudio library that Audacity unfortunately uses. I did notice other pro...
