Ports
These are already compiled plugin binaries and source code (where needed) available for download and use for linux. These plugins are mainly free, public domain, or open source GPL plugins originally published for the Windows/Mac platforms. Some more plugins will follow soon.
If you want to recompile them by yourself, then you need to accept license agreement for the Steinberg VSTSDK plugin development headers before downloading it (http://www.steinberg.net/vstsdk_license_agreement): this bundle of files is essential for compiling vst instruments and effects.
Someone may say that GPL projects couldn’t be linked with those headers cause of licensing issues, but then i’m not providing them directly, nor refusing you to get the rest of the sourcecode i’ve tweaked…
So if you like to sue me, cause i’m causing a loss of money on you, or i’m causing your lawyer bad karma… then i’ll keep out those projects ONLY if you’ll show me you have offered some money to the THIRD WORLD, or to someone in need like those NO-PROFIT associations !
HIGHLIFE - DiscoDSP’s top of the line sampler / Arguru’s memory

Nothing to say about this. I’ve started adding soundfont2, gigasampler and dls loading but they are still partially implemented and not well tested (other thing is mp3 and ogg import, which is complete).
It sounds perfect and it is very light on cpu. An extreme couple to use it in jost !!!
For compiling it from the sources you need to have juce in the same directory
cd juce/build/linux
make CONFIG=Release
cd ../../../highlife
make CONFIG=Release
