    Unfortunately, from what I read, I have to be the author of the respective plugin. From the site: "jVSTwRapper is currently available for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. As VST plugins are native libraries on these platforms, jVSTwRapper provides a native stub (.dll, .so or .jnilib file) that interacts with the java part of the plugin.".
    So, if no java part, no interaction.

    sorry @trutzburg , i can't help you in this field. Haven't use windows since ages.. maybe it will took a while i'd make an experiment with win wine and come with answers...

    Edit: to not to be too off topic (really don't want to distort the thread), here one try. Once you windows users have this made, theoretically you could use all of the Mac's apps. The question would be "audio interchange"? > Jack?

    CLARITY VST
    [​IMG]

    Clarity uses phase shifting and comb filtering to enhance the clarity of the audio signal. Clarity also integrates Full Phase VST effect in-line with it’s audio routing.
    The phase of either the left or right channel of the effects mix can be inverted. You can also cross-mix the Left and Right Channels, swapping them entirely if need be.
    Clarity works great on clearing up percussion, strings, and many other things.
    Update 4-25-2012: Incorporated updated Full Phase Effect in-line.
    Update 5-31-2012: Added Ability to cross-mix Effect L/R Channels. Added ability to invert phase of Left/Right Effect Channels.

    Download Clarity VST

    GNOMEKICK VSTI
    [​IMG]

    GnomeKick is designed for backing up a kick drum and adding that extra “thud” that seems to be missing at times. GnomeKick features a special “Analog” knob to add analog-like modulation to fatten up the oscillators. This Kick Generator was built in Synthedit. Enjoy!

    Download GnomeKick

    MILLIDELAY VST
    [​IMG]

    Millidelay was created to be used creatively. It delays the incoming audio stream by the range that you select, and can be fine tuned with the delay slider, above which is shown the delay time. It works great on auxilliary channels, or shifting entire tracks into unique times of their own.

    Enjoy!

    Download Millidelay

    FULL PHASE VST
    [​IMG]

    Full Phase VST is a very unique effect. It uses an inversion of a stereo channel phased against the opposite corresponding channel to isolate common stereo field characteristics, and then uses a small phase shift network to allow phase “tuning” of your audio via the character slider. Phase shifts can be accomplished by using the “shift” slider (intensity of the shift) in combination with the Left <-> Right horizontal slider to set the position of the phase. The st. (stereo field) slider is for some mid/side action..

    Update 4-23-2012: Phase rotation issue fixed. Full Phase now maintains the stereo balance.
    Update 4-24-2012: Full Phase is currently in the shop! Last version was buggy. More soon!
    Update 4-25-2012: Added “Field” phase control. Added Full mix phase control. Fixed bugs!
    Update 5-05-2012: Completely Reworked Full Phase. Integrated a placeable phase shift!
    Update 5-26-2012: Updated GUI and fixed channel swapping issue.

    Download Full Phase

    Voxengo Overtone GEQ
    free
    http://www.voxengo.com/product/overtonegeq/

    [​IMG]

    Overtone GEQ is 7-band harmonic (overtone) graphic equalizer AU and VST plugin with multi-channel operation support (supporting up to 8 input/output channels, host setup-dependent). Overtone GEQ offers extensive internal channel routing capabilities, and supports mid/side channel processing.

    Beside equalizing, Overtone GEQ applies harmonic enhancement processing: it uses 7 harmonic enhancement modules, one for each EQ band. This generates a complex harmonic coloration you will probably like a lot.

    Overtone GEQ was designed to allow audio engineers to apply quick EQ shape adjustments together with adding a bit of harmonic richness to the audio material (mainly mixes and sub-mixes due to a comparably high processing load this EQ puts on a CPU).

    VST plugins support
    ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    Real-time preview of effects
    Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls.

    The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time.


    Cross-platform support
    ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others.

    To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Multi-selection for delicate editions
    To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them.

    For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect.


    Efficient editing of large files
    With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly.

    Try it, you will be amazed!

    [​IMG][​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Fully featured spectrogram
    Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity.

    Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
