Example hosts include Bidule, Gig Performer, Mainstage, REAPER, and Sonic Visualiser.Plug-ins can also be used to host other plug-ins. [4] Communication between host and plug-in(s) is determined by a plug-in application programming interface ().
LV2 (LADSPA Version 2) is a set of royalty-free open standards [2] for music production plug-ins and matching host applications. It includes support for the synthesis and processing of digital audio and CV, [3] events such as MIDI and OSC, and provides a free alternative to audio plug-in standards such as Virtual Studio Technology (VST) and Audio Units (AU).
