 From what I understand, it is a proper port -- falktx is adding LV2

support to the JUCE framework that the TAL plugins (and many other

cross-platform VSTs) use, which should make it possible for them to be

built as LV2 plugins.
I'm not exactly sure how the licencing works in all of that, but I do

hope that it means that some of these ported plugins can go in to

distros; that's definitely one of the biggest downside to native VSTs.

Agreed -- something like a plugin version of Specimen (or Petri-Foo)

would be very handy. FWIW, though, I've had great success with

LinuxSampler as an LV2 plugin within Ardour 3, mostly with SFZ samples.

I haven't actually made any of my own SFZ instruments yet, but it's a

simple text-based format so it doesn't require any specific tools to

work with.
I wrote a (lengthy) article all about LinuxSampler a little while ago --

hopefully it can help to clear up some of the confusion about it:
