@gmslater not plugins but I've had fun using Pure Data (aka #Pd) and #Yoshimi to create drone-like textures with some pseudo randomness and live interaction.
I have also performed this live adding a small controller to the setup

Here's an example:

I don't use #bitwig, but have tried the demos a few times. It is definitely cool software and they are commendable for making it available on Linux. for what I do I have found the price point always a bit too high considering I prefer to use FLOSS (like #ardour, #lv2, #yoshimi) when possible and their lack of "native" support for lv2 plugins a blocker for considering buying it.

Regarding packaging, I think for proprietary 'binary blob' software Appimage is probably the most convenient?

... and try to "play" a Yoshimi synth there. It does work, but it's also VERY hard to play! If you approach it like a normal guitar, you'll get wrong or dead notes, and it will be quite imprecise. I'll have to learn how to use it properly, since as you can see in the video it does have interesting possibilities!

Thanks for the new toy, Randy! 🎸
