That's the easy part. Now all that is necessary is that _host

developers_ include support for a ui:QtUI extension. That will be

especially difficult is the host is a Gtk app. Welcome to the plugin

UI holy wars. :-)
Also your plugin outputs MIDI, I don't know how many hosts include

support for that, but I'd reckon not a lot.
At this moment of Linux Audio Plugin History I'd recommend you to

convert your plugin into a standalone application. Then you can add

whatever GUI you want and don't have to worry about connectivity

issues and host compatibility, since all will be handled by

jack/jack-midi/alsa-seq. Add lash or jack-session support and we are

good to go.
HTH,
