If CLAP takes off, how difficult  would it be to implement into OpenMPT? 

[Saga Musix]

Let's put it like that: Given the available choices (VST3, LV2, CLAP), my priority of implementation would be CLAP, followed by LV2, and VST3 last. Any additional plugin stanard is a lot of work to implement but it's certainly doable.

Let's put it like that: Given the available choices (VST3, LV2, CLAP), my priority of implementation would be CLAP, followed by LV2, and VST3 last. Any additional plugin stanard is a lot of work to implement but it's certainly doable.

My priority would be:

• proper plugin type abstraction interface
• re-implementiong pluginbridge at that level
• everything else

While this introduces additional implementation overhead upfront, it would significantly reduce future implementation overhead for additional plugin types.
