[linux-audio-user] ANN: JOST, a simple host for native VST

Hi there,

The italian DJ and Developer Lucio Asnaghi has made a first preview of simple
host for native VST on Linux. Native VST for Linux was founded first by
Jorgen Aase /EnergyXT2, but the communication is problematic (also other devs
reported that Jorgen didn't anwer to any mail), so Lucio decided to make an
own host, based on the framework JUCE , because he porting a lot of VST
Synths to Linux. (he also made a great port from ZynAdd Windows VST back to
Linux VST)

It shall be released in March under an open licence. He will build up this
small host JOST (Jack hOST) to a instrumentrack with basic sequencer
functions. Later he will build up a full sequencer named "Juggler", which
should be near to the commercial Tracktion. (JUCE is the framework behind
Tracktion1)

You can download the first preview from the website of the autor.

The best native Linux VST plugins for testing JOST are the mdaSuite:
