This is some year old information I ran across…
"“Airwindows plugins are modular, graphic-less, stripped-down, Audio Unit plugins for the Mac” dating back to 2007 He is licensed to use VST2 plugins
That ‘windowless’ aspect sounds more suitable for editing setups in the field (without lugging along a ModUI browser) using just the Pi LCD? if Airwindows can be integrated…
Since Apple has totally switched over to Arm processors, it’s just a short hop to get it working on a Pi.
All Airwindows Plugins (290 or so) Now Run Natively on Raspberry Pi(an 8.9 MB dpownload)
A laid back youtube demo running in reaper.
(Reaper DAW has a free 60 day trial and non-commercial Reaper sells for $60.)
