LV2 Plugin support
Hey guys, I know it's not really a popular plugin format yet, but I'd love to see LV2 plugin support in Reaper.
On the windows side, it wouldn't be a huge issue, because we already have tons of VST plugins. It'd be cool to be able to use Harrison's plugins and other LV2 plugins though.
However, on the up-and-coming Linux NATIVE version, LV2 support would be a huge deal!
Most worthwhile plugins for linux are in LV2 format, not LinuxVST, so it would open up a huge range of plugin support. I know Linux NATIVE is in it's super infant stages, but it'd be awesome to get this ball rolling sooner rather than later.

I agree, its a logical step forward and would provide a good boost to developers doing LV2 for all platforms. Then that paves the way for Reaper linux and the beginning of a full open standard! No reliance on Steinberg, Apple, Microsoft.
Does anyone know if its in the pipeline?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't (we're dealing with uber-geeks here)

I'd be really interested in that too! VST on Linux is still very unstable, and sometimes even unusable. LV2 support will add lots of plugins to the Native Linux port, and also enables Windows and Mac users to use lots of free, high quality, open source plugins.
A big, fat +1 from me

The current native Linux builds are working very well for most of my needs. Being able to use the excellent Calf, Guitarix and x42 LV2 plugins without needing Carla or some other bridge would be a huge bonus. +1 from me for LV2 support.

I just ran into an LV2 plugin that I wanted to run in the Windows version of REAPER, and was surprised it didn't support that format.
So, add me to the BIG +1 list!

How are you using VST to begin with?

Hmmm can someone give examples of worthy plugins in this format?
I never heard of this one before...

Are you sure? I'm not. http://linux-sound.org/linux-vst-plugins.html
There is LinVST, so it's not true.

Here's one real-life example:
I miss being able to use these excellent LV2 drum kit plugins, that also come with Mixbus (which I've since abandoned in favor of REAPER):
http://www.bandshed.net/avldrumkits/
Using these and others, you can create sort of a "Poor Man's Drumagog". This comes in handy for drum replacement on unruly tracks that would require a lot of EQ, compression, etc., not to mention all of the tweaking involved, in order to come even close to the sound of good drum samples:
1) Add the "JS: Audio To MIDI Drum Trigger" plugin (or your favorite gate plugin that has MIDI output capability). For example, if the kick drum track is lousy, set the gate to trigger on note 36 (kick drum).
2) Follow that with a good MIDI drum kit plugin (the ones above are excellent), and adjust things to taste.
This is of course only one example. The LV2 format seems to be becoming more and more popular these days and there are tons of other plugins out there, just do a bit of searching on Google.

And another +1 for LV2 support. A file browser that displays icons when browsing for track icons would be nice too.

Another +1 from me, there are a lot of great lv2 plugins out there for Linux & it's a real shame that we can't use them in reaper. I also find that if there's a lxvst that's buggy in ardour its lv2 version works fine.

I stopped using Reaper because of the lack of LV2 plugins (and some other things), but I will give 6.22+ another try!
Especially on Linux, LV2 support is a deal breaker.
