The modular-synth ones? You shouldn't have been using those in first

place, unless it was an Ingen project or some other LV2-based modular,

if such a thing exists.
In that case - it might be worthwhile to find a maintainer for these

plugins as a separate project, as I already have difficulty maintaining

the core set due to lack of time. I'd say that for most people, those

plugins generally weren't very useful and only polluted the plugin list.

I thought the fact that these plugins required --enable-experimental to

be compiled in first place, and that they didn't even support stereo

signals, was enough of a warning. In worst case, you can always revert

to an old version, that still had those plugins.
However, in new projects, you should use Calf Filter instead. It is

stable, supports stereo and isn't going to be dropped in the near

future. It also does some things that you'd find desirable in this kind

of a plugin, for example the smoothing of cutoff value, avoiding some of

the "scratchy knob noise".
