Thanks, I think it makes things way clearer!
What's confusing me so far is that I ported the VCO2 module, but with
exactly the same setup, the VCO2 LV2 in Ingen sounds out of tune
compared to the one in AMS. I thought it was due to some kind of
needed convertion, but maybe I'll go back to my code to double check I
didn't make any mistakes!

By the way, the LADSPA plugins you are referring to, I suppose these
are the MCP ones?
Are you planning onto porting them to LV2 ones?
