Sick! Its cool cuz you can string together arp patterns as longer phrases and then automate the changing of those phrases- I ran into some trouble trying to automate the vst3 version tho, so try the vst2 version if the same thing happens to you- looking forward to hearing what you do with it!🙏

Wait oh shit VST3 is now Open Source!? Does this mean we may in the future see better compatibility for Linux to the point I can consider using it? The only reason I hold onto Windows is for compatibility of all my plugins.

Let me say that again, but not backward! MIT License for VST3 (plus other SDK improvements) and GPLv3 for ASIO (with an OBS partnership).
So a fully permissive license on VST3 plug-ins, and a copyleft option in addition to the existing ASIO license. And that makes a ton of sense.

yes. you can always use the clap-as-vst3 wrapper for covering hosts like ableton and cubase and i believe there's a clap-as-au for logic.
alternately just use juce or dplug or nih-plug and get clap support along with the other formats.

now that vst3 is under the MIT license I'm desperately hoping this will spark an industry shift to support linux. I only need a few big plugin makers to switch over and then I never have to touch windows again.
