Hello,
I wanted to ask about possible Linux support.. is that something that could be coming in the future? How hard would it be to do?
Thanks!

I run all Melda plugins in Linux with no problem (1). I mean by 'all', all the activated ones, plus all the demos as I at least briefly tried each. I use them in Bitwig mostly.
(1) It is basically no problem as far as the larger work flow is concerned. As such, the plugins will not instantly resize. So when there's a need to have a resized plugin it must be minimized and brought up back again. When brought up it will adopt the new size. So this is a slight overhead, but nothing crucial. That's how it works in Bitwig.
In Mixbus32C (Ardour) it can be a bit of a problem though. Mixbus32C does not close a plugin UI and it has problems with resizing plugin windows at least in Linux Mint KDE. This means the plugins do not resize at all.
The other thing is with MDrummer. After some troubleshooting with Vojtech it was found out that MDrummer has to be set to channel 2 to receive MIDI notes in clips in Bitwig. Bitwig replied that they are certain the MIDI clip notes are sent to MIDI channel 1. I still have to verify using a plugin that could tell me what MIDI channel it receives notes from - haven't found such a plugin yet. Haven't searched much neither.
All in all the Melda plugins are running well in Bitwig, which is what I use for creating music. As such, I would not see why there would be Linux support done on Melda's side.
Cheers.

Thanks for the info mevla.
fourstepper: I'm afraid official Linux support is not planned at all, sorry.
