Way back when I knew nothing at all about audio software (i.e. about two years ago), Richard did the first implementation of LADSPA effects plugins in Rosegarden. At the time I was quite unfamiliar with what an effects plugin did, and my first reaction on finding out was simple disappointment that there was no way to apply them to MIDI output. Without that, I hardly saw the point of LADSPA support in Rosegarden at all. Of course, the reason I knew nothing about effects plugins was related to the fact that I had no particular need for audio recording and playback, so it's not surprising that I saw it as next to useless. Richard, obviously, saw audio record/playback with plugins as a vital thing whose absence had been preventing him from using Rosegarden himself. > These cool new synth > plugin things are mere icing to me, although I might feel > differently if I ever got the VST plugins working. It's not VST vs non-VST so much as having a workable armoury of synths of any sort. There just aren't enough DSSI ones yet. A good drum synth (comparable to something like the freebie Drumatic VST) is number one on my personal wishlist.
