🎶 Native Linux Plugins – New & Upcoming (VST | CLAP | LV2 | Standalone)

[NWSM]

Hmmmm...the unfiltered audio link is giving me a 400 code from dropbox. Looks cool though...I need more delays! And excited to have more companies coming to Linux.

When Link opened watch into address bar:
remove the "amp;" from the link, and maybe change "=0" to "=1". Download should start then, when you hit enter again.

Still no go for me, but I'll just wait for non-beta. cheers for trying!

Arbit (Open Beta)
by Donuts Delivery

Free Harmonic Composition Workstation and VST3/CLAP Plugin and LINUX.
Arbit is a piano-roll-first composition workstation and MIDI plugin where notes can be linked by harmonic ratios. Instead of treating every note as a fixed equal-tempered grid position, Arbit lets composers define relationships such as 3/2, 5/4, 7/4, and other harmonic intervals directly between notes. Linked notes retune automatically as the composition changes.

I have a Youlean-Loudness-Meter (beta) Version

How is this going? Is a release imminent? I am looking at meters a bit this week.

I like how minimeters look when I see them in videos (https://minimeters.app/). But there are a lot of free options out there, as well.

[pekbro]

Mini meters is ok, a bit annoying on win trying to get windows to respect it.

Should be better under Linux, that said, there is much available for Linux to cover much of mini meters, except for the vst 3 plugin connection possibly.

Anyway, I have it and don’t really use it a lot.

Thanks for the feedback. I only know of them because I see them in sound design or sound demo videos quite a bit.

An example (but i've more aesthetic uses):



Will pass for now. Ideally I want regular size or big meters, either that integrate with Reaper nicely, or that I can put on one of my three monitors when I need 'em. I've just stumbled into folks using minimeters for video visuals so many times. Not in a rush, not a giant hole to fill - i have decent stuff on hand. Just testing what else is out there.

[pekbro]

Probably fine for multiple monitors…

Last month he wrote:
"implementing some other stuff right now" and he will look at linux users again.
No further messages.

loomer is out of buisness.

As I was browsing LinuxDAW and noticing how quickly plugins seem to appear and some disappear, I came across a company called Loomer. It seems they have gone out of business, and unfortunately I never had the chance to really explore their plugins. Just take a look:

https://linuxdaw.org/?d=Loomer
https://synthanatomy.com/2025/11/loomer ... iness.html

This raises an important question: what happens to their plugins now? Are they simply gone? Remember to SurgeXT.

There are several better ways a company could handle this situation for the community—users, musicians, and even their own legacy. One option would be to release the plugins as open source, allowing others to maintain, improve, or at least preserve them. Another would be to keep them available through a marketplace, even if only as legacy products, so people can still discover, test, or purchase them.

Instead, removing everything from the web and staying silent is the worst possible outcome. It prevents any future revenue, denies users access, and ultimately causes these tools to fade away and disappear entirely. Pirates also could find and crack them.

That said, I still hope these companies (all of them) recovers or chooses a more sustainable and community-friendly path regarding their plugins. There are still meaningful options available, and it would be great to see them make a decision that preserves their work rather than letting it vanish.

So far, I have not reached out to them directly to ask about their plans or the future of their products—but it is something I may consider if there is no further information.

Please have a better Plan B.
Cheers*

Yeah, there are a few threads about it in the Loomer forum section: viewforum.php?f=141

and a thread in instruments:
viewtopic.php?t=624966

They had this big modular midi environment called Architect that stayed in Beta for years. I was ready to jump in if it ever got released because people raved about it on forums.

When I got into Linux back in 2017 or so, everyone always recommended buying CM magazine to get Cumulus, their granular plugin (as well as the two free U-he plugins). Those three (and Dexed) were like the Linux starter pack, for a $10 magazine purchase.
