Linux support for Toontrack products

DAWs like Reaper and Ardour work on Linux just fine, but the Toontrack stack not supporting it fully breaks the experience. Using Wine I can get quite a long way with using EZ Drummer on Linux, but it’s less than ideal. Even though VST should be OS agnostic, it’s clear Toontrack products weren’t developed with Linux in mind. And that’s a shame, because nobody I know who’s into audio engineering willingly chooses Windows.

Please support Linux.

We’ve already fully switched to linux on the main computer(s) and just have a hold out windows machine for now for a relatively short list of tools and toontrack products is one.  But now we’re in the mode of just freezing the EZdrummer tracks, doing everything else on linux and only coming back to the windows machine if we have to change something in a drum track.  Not the most friendly of workflows but that’s what it is for now.  At this point, the first decent drum plugin with native linux support will win for me.  Hopefully it is toontrack.
