Hey all, vst~ is not a secret, it's in cvs. It seems that also the Steinberg copyright issues have become better due to the efforts of the FST project. The problem is that it always takes some time to make a release package and i use to do that when things have been tested to some extent. The last time someone mentioned the need for vst~ on the list i posted a call for vst~ test reports of all kinds of available plugins. I didn't get one single reply - that can mean that either nobody uses vst~ or it's not working at all or it's working perfectly. So here again... i'd appreciate _very_ much reports of vst~ with all kinds of plugins - perfectly working/somehow working (details) /not working at all (errors?). The other reason for not publishing a binary was a change in the architecture, so that a OSX version (and maybe linux FST version) can follow. I'll upload a binary shortly.
please test and report, best greetings, Thomas
well, that's an issue i also can't quite understand. because i think
vst-plugin
support is a much-asked feature of any audio application.
plus, there's actually a working "vst~.dll" i got one year ago from thomas grill. he's now working on it but still hasn't officially published a
compiled
.dll, you can only cvs and compile it yourself...
thomas, why is this still so ? the vst~.dll works perfect and never
crashed
(some GUI windows didn't show, though...), so i guess that nobody would be offended by a downloadable beta .dll that works this good. even if it's
not
working 100%, still its a damn good start and would make many newbie users
of
PD happy. why keeping it secret ? are there any copyright reasons ?
