The good people of ixi audio use only open source software like, SuperCollider, ChucK and Pure Data, but their aim is to distribute their applications packaged in a way that allows everybody to use them.
Now, let's not be confuse with their software and our everyday VSTi. ixi audio software are not VSTi! They are for live performance artist who depends a lot on audio and visual art.
