Format | Audio IO | Parameters | Parameter outputs | Programs | States | UI->DSP sendNote | CV ports | MIDI input | MIDI output | Port groups | Special notes
JACK | Yes | Yes* | Yes* | Yes* | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes* | Parameters have programs mapped to MIDI CC, there is no generic plugin editor; Port groups as JACK metadata
LADSPA | Yes | Yes | Yes | No* | No | No | No | No | No | No | LADSPA only supports basic parameters and audio; Programs could be done via LRDF but not supported in DPF
DSSI | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes* | Yes* | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | DSSI only supports States via UI, no "full state" possible
LV2 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Everything supported :)
VST2 | Yes | Yes | No | No* | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes* | VST2 program support requires saving state of all programs in memory, which is very expensive and thus not done in DPF; Parameter groups are supported, but not for audio ports (per VST2 spec limitations)
VST3 | Yes | Yes | Yes? | Yes | Yes | Yes | NO* | Yes | Yes | No* | Not sure if parameter outputs work (aka "read-only" on VST3); CV ports do not support custom ranges, not implemented yet; Port groups not implemented yet
