The VST SDK lets you add as many inputs as you want with addAudioInput I am just curious if there is a "standard" way for hosts to handle this. In Reason (by Reason Studios), because of the use of the physical rack model and wiring, it is pretty trivial as you simply get a pair of sockets for each (...

No it does not support it directly. But my framework Jamba is built on top of VST3/VSTGUI and added this support. So yes it is possible to develop your own infrastructure to make it happen (it is not trivial and a lot of work though). You can look at what I did since the code is open source...

How should the ProcessContext::State (uint32), SystemTime (int64) and Chord::KeyNote (uint8) values be serialzed as parameters in the processor getState/setState methods? The HelloWorld examples show ParamValue and int16 parameters as IBStreamer::readFloat/readInt32 types. getState/setState are bla...

Thank you for your answer. I have a follow up question in regards to the lifecycle of the factory. Looking at the api only (not the implementation provided) and the documentation, is it fair to assume that there is no guarantee that a host will keep the factory around as long as the plugin is alive?...

Hi, as stated in the documenation (https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_doc/vstinterfaces/workflow.html#controllercallsequence), all edit controller calls must be done on the main thread. Cheers, Arne This diagram/section does not talk about timers explicitly. Or am I missing something? Are timers...

So far I have been assuming that the GUI layer is mono threaded/runs on an event loop like most other GUI layers (ex: Android, etc...) and I wanted to confirm that my understanding is correct. I do understand that the GUI and the RT may (and will most likely) run on separate threads but because they...

The code that creates the main factory (via BEGIN_FACTORY_DEF macro) does something like: if(!gPluginFactory) { //... gPluginFactory = new CPluginFactory(factoryInfo); //... } else { else gPluginFactory->addRef() } Since the "main" API to the plugin is Steinberg::IPluginFactory* PLUGIN_API GetPlugin...

In my VST3 SAM-SPL64 plugin, you "load" a sample (which can be of any size, including several Megabytes) which you can then "play" after being split in multiple slices. I have implemented the behavior following what I believe are the guidelines for proper VST handling: * the GUI (and I am using VSTG...

I have been using template code and I don't think it is ugly. Of course it helps to write all the code generic. For example in my framework ( Jamba ), the way I do it is that the framework implements the processInputs(data) call and then dispatch to a genericProcessInputs which is templated (ex: htt...

Hey René, So I'll have to create the project on a Mac and compile it using that SDK. Yeah that answers my question, although it's pretty unfortunate... Thanks for the reply! Kyle You don't have to "create the project on a Mac". The CMakefile that comes with the SDK work both on Mac and PC. So as lo...
