Hi @RustoMCSpit

Thanks for the interest, and I appreciate the promotion

Unfortunately, the plugins are compiled into Stargate DAW, they are not separate files, similar to how Reason used to be before they added Rack Extensions and VST support. The plugin format is specific to Stargate DAW, I invented it before CLAP was ever publicly announced. The plugin format could not easily be ported or wrapped to other plugin formats because the UI component of the plugin has a hard dependency on Python and PyQt, which would not be easy to use in a VST2/3/AU/AAX/CLAP/LV2/etc... plugin. Even if one wrapped the DSP part of the plugin, the plugin UIs would first need to be reconstructed in another UI framework like JUCE or VSTGUI.

mmm. may i suggest that if you were going to make any more plugins that you dont do them in your format but do them in clap then? change your workflow for new ones and keep the old ones as is

Then they aren't plugins, they are just features.
