+LV2 is an open extensible standard for audio plugins.
+LV2 has a simple core interface,
+which is accompanied by extensions that add more advanced functionality.
+
+Many types of plugins can be built with LV2, including audio effects, synthesizers, and control processors for modulation and automation.
+Extensions support more powerful features, such as:
+
+ * Platform-native UIs
+ * Network-transparent plugin control
+ * Portable/archivable persistent state
+ * Threaded tasks (like file loading) with sample-accurate export
+ * Deep semantic plugin discovery and control with meaningful units
+
+The LV2 specification itself as well as the accompanying libraries are permissively licensed free software, with support for all major platforms.
