+<H1>LADSPA SDK v1.12 Overview</H1>
+
+<P>There is a large number of synthesis packages in use or development
+on the Linux platform at this time. The Linux Audio Developer's Simple
+Plugin API (LADSPA) attempts to give programmers the ability to write
+simple `plugin' audio processors in C/C++ and link them dynamically
+against a range of host applications.</P>
+
+<P>Definitive technical documentation on LADSPA plugins for both host
+and plugin writers is contained within copious comments in the <A
+HREF="ladspa.h.txt"><CODE>ladspa.h</CODE></A> header file.</P>
+
+<P>This SDK provides:</P>
+
+<UL>
+
+<LI>The API header file.</LI>
+
+<LI>Ten simple example plugins that may be used as the basis for
+further development.</LI>
+
+<LI>A program (`analyseplugin') which analyses a plugin library and
+describes the plugins within it. This program may be used as the basis
+for further development.</LI>
+
+<LI>A simple host program (`applyplugin') which allows a chain of
+plugins to modify a Wave file. This host may be used as the basis for
+further development.</LI>
+
+<LI>A program (`listplugins') which searches directories on the
+<CODE>LADSPA_PATH</CODE> for LADSPA plugins. This program may be used
+as the basis for further development.</LI>
