One of the things, why I can't leave Windows to use Reaper on Linux instead. I'm pretty sure, other users here can go more into details on the difficulties of VST and platform-independence.īut yeah, it would be cool to have. So if you want to have your favorite VST on Mac or Linux, you need to ask the vendors/manufacturers of the VST-plugin.ĭoing this huge thing with a two man development-team for all VST-plugins is pretty impossible to do. Unlike JSFX, who are quite system-independent and can run on all platforms that have JSFX included, VST isn't designed as such. So practically: you ask the devs of emulating Windows for Linux with an emulation of an Intel-based-processor as well (The latter for the ARM-version of Linux-Reaper). It expects Windows to be there, it expects libraries of Windows to be there. That means, a VST built for Windows is a program actually made for Windows. They are also built on the platform, they are released for. Implementation of VST in Linux seems to be a real struggle as well, otherwise it would work already for years now, as VST is a quite old thing by now(even if it's still in further development).

That's why there are VSTs for Windows and Mac.

VSTs are, as far as I know, very system dependant. I'm not sure, if I entirely understand your FR, so I answer to the request in the title.
