It does "just work", you just get generic GUIs instead of plugin-specific ones. There are some "port hints" in the plugin that specify whether a certain parameter is interpreted as an integer, a boolean, has upper or lower bounds etc that the host can use to decide whether it should use a spinbutton or a checkbox or a slider or something else for that parameter. You could look at some existing LADSPA hosts with GUIs (e.g. JACK-rack, Ardour, Om, Hydrogen) to see how they do it. -- Lars Luthman - please encrypt any email sent to me if possible PGP key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x04C77E2E Fingerprint: FCA7 C790 19B9 322D EB7A E1B3 4371 4650 04C7 7E2E
