Great news...

Ultimately my "native only" dream crumbled partly due to missing the UA plugs (which run perfectly in Yabridge FTR). I'm guessing as they changed frameworks then it'll be the more recent ones first. But getting the like of Silo and LOFIAF native will be great, hopefully they'll go back for byome/triad and oldies like SandmanPro and Fault at some point.

Anyone seen Linux natives for the two drawbar organs (tube and transistor)? i.e. Hammond & Vox

Pretty sure that if developers were really confident that they could make some good money developing for Linux, they would, and there would be a nice variety of products available. :hihi:

They would want a return on their investment. (effort)

They're actually figuring that out now.
That's why there's more joining in everyday. Seems that the Appleheads are most concerned about that. But it really will take more from the Window market share.

I don't know about Vox but for Hammond there's setBfree and CollaB3

Sampleson doesn't seem to list the Linux version of collab3 for some reason, but Librewave does: https://librewave.com/product/collab3/ (https://librewave.com/product/collab3/)

I am feeling a slow and steady development here, good stuff.

A couple of awesome DAW's, mix ready, also u-he for plugin power, the new CLAP approach, and this is really quite cool.

I am not complaining, at all! :hihi:

Such a great news and another microtonal little gem for me. :phones:

The well known
BlueARP VST Arpeggiator will go Linux too :tu:

BlueARP plugin is a programmable pattern arpeggiator / step sequencer. It is available both on Windows (VST plugin) and on OSX (VST and MIDI-FX plugin), free of change, ready to use in your music production and performances, either commercial or not.

Great to see the list growing.

I think with modern frameworks (like JUCE) making cross-platform builds easier, we are finally seeing devs realizing that releasing a Linux version isn't as painful as it used to be. Hopefully, this trend continues.
