in my personal config, I have set:

{
  environment.pathsToLink = ["/share/soundfonts"];

  environment.variables = {
    DSSI_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.dssi:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/dssi:/run/current-system/sw/lib/dssi:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/dssi";
    LADSPA_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.ladspa:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ladspa:/run/current-system/sw/lib/ladspa:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/ladspa";
    LV2_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.lv2:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/lv2:/run/current-system/sw/lib/lv2:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/lv2";
    LXVST_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.lxvst:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/lxvst:/run/current-system/sw/lib/lxvst:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/lxvst";
    VST_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.vst:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/vst:/run/current-system/sw/lib/vst:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/vst";
    VST3_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.vst3:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/vst3:/run/current-system/sw/lib/vst3:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/vst3";
  };
}

can you go into "Edit > Preferences > Plugins > VST" and see / edit the path?

im guessing a patch can be built using nix develop? guess thats a good introduction to nix packaging for me

not sure if i should switch channel for this but quick question: i've made a change to the default.nix of ardour in my local copy of the nixpkgs git. how do i build this locally? would like to do that before i open a PR
