LV2 support?

Hi! How about the possibility of LV2 support some day? Thanks.

I've considered it.

Question: Do you know of any DAWs that support LV2, but do not support VST3 or CLAP?

If there are none, creating an LV2 wrapper may not be necessary

I'm not sure about DAWs, but I do know the Mixxx DJing software only supports LV2 as a plugin format.

The MOD Devices hardware platforms, as well as Zynthian hardware devices, only support LV2. The MOD hardware uses advanced LV2 features not available in any other plugin system to implement its session save file format (Pedalboards).

Also, the GStreamer multimedia framework only supports LV2 (and its predecessor, LADSPA).

FWIW, there are other LV2 only hosts, such as Ingen (multiple plugins), and a number of stand-alone (single plugin) hosts, Jalv being the main one.

Thanks for sharing. These sounds like cool projects but my interest for CPLUG is to create plugins for DAWs. I don't see supporting LV2 worth my time yet.

That may change, so I'll keep this issue open

After implementing both CLAP and LV2 the LV2 side seems quite redundant, and have some significant oddities regarding buses, presets, etc while CLAP is close to perfect.

I can say personally that most LV2 plugins I've tried just lack any GUI whereas their other API versions work relatively fine. Also, mono and stereo versions of these plugins being separate just seems odd in the days of VST3 and CLAP.
