VSTHost Slavery Suite

It was just a little question in a forum... 'Is there a way to route the output of vsthost to Kristal Audio engine? And without latency?' that triggered the addition of a slave mode to VSTHost. And since I got a rather bad taste of humor, it got the above title.

Hey guys I know this thread is already old but I have found I nice way to use my vst plugins during live mixing. I use a Midas Vencie F32, this desk is kind of a inline desk with built in 32x32 firewire audiointerface. I just connect it to my Mac Book Pro Late 2011 i7 256 GB SSD, 8GB RAM and use it with Cubase. Well, changing presets on a VST during live performance can be dangerous. It depends on the VST. Some behave better than others. I owned the predator by Rob Papen, total piece of crap. The thing would crash ableton almost everytime i scrolled through the presets. In fact, almost every single VST i ever used causes a little bit of a clip on the.

Despite what you'd read on forums that Mac vs Windows is mostly personal choice and performance is not significantly different, I have found this to be incorrect for real time audio processing. Let me emphasize that this is only relevant when tracks are record armed and you're doing live processing. Process live instruments; Host VST and Audio Unit plugins. Interactive sound design, composition and performance environment for Mac and PC, with an eclectic selection of audio-processing. This encapsulates a VST effect, as loaded by the VST host. This class isn't fully complete - since I don't have a Mac, I've only included the Windows code. If a kind MacIntosh programmer could fill out the few Mac-specific sections and send it to me it would be great and, of course, publicized here!

When started with the parameter /slave, VSTHost goes into Slave Mode and waits for a Master to control it. The first (and currently only) master is a VST(i) plugin that can be embedded into any VST Host program (even another instance of VSTHost), called Legree. It comes as an effect and as a VSTi, since there are hosts that accept only effects, hosts that only accept VSTis, and of course hosts that accept both.

You can download Legree here (.zip file, 209K).
Current version: 1.07
Comes in 32- and 64-bit versions

Open Source Variant

Originally, I made VSTHost available including the complete source code. Since I had to find out that (parts of) it made their way into other people's programs, and that without even mentioning my contribution, the open source variant has been frozen. I continue to add bug fixes to the existing code base, but new features won't make their way into it any more. Starting with V1.16k, this program is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser GPL.

Anyway - the important part of the program is an implementation of a VST host in form of 2 classes:

CVSTHost

This implements the audio callback needed by an effect plugin as a neatly encapsulated VST host class. This is practically platform-independent code. The few platform-specific things are encapsulated in...

CEffect

This encapsulates a VST effect, as loaded by the VST host. This class isn't fully complete - since I don't have a Mac, I've only included the Windows code. If a kind MacIntosh programmer could fill out the few Mac-specific sections and send it to me it would be great and, of course, publicized here!

You can download the sources for V1.16q here (.zip file, 285K).
Current version: VST 2.4 rev2 + ASIO 2.0 support, ASIO Channel selection, bug fix from V1.19-1.46

Vst Host Windows 10

• GP has absolutely changed how I run my guitar rig and has finally allowed me to run it how I want to rather than how the software wants to.

• After more than 20 years of using a PC to run my keyboards on stage, I finally don’t live in fear of the next patch or song change.

• Yay finally someone with brains developed the vst host from heavenI purchased Gig Performer and OMG. This is by far the best live VST host for live work. Thumbs up big time. Look forward to gigging with this beasty vst host from heaven. Yay.

• It’s actually CHANGED my studio by giving me the ability to have “physical” control of virtual instruments on the fly without the need for the GEAR.

• I love it when I get a new instrument or tool to use it gives me a fresh outlook and Gig Performer has done exactly that. I now find I am creating more complex sounds for my stage performances and being confident that they will work. Gig Performer was created for musicians who want reliability and a familiar way to create and recreate their sounds on stage it is not just another way to use your plugins for me it has become another instrument. Thank you Gig Performer you are a Great Performer.

• Thank you guys for creating a 'Musician's Tool' instead of another Engineering Tool

• Very impressed with Gig Performer. It is so intuitive that probably it doesn't need a manual

• Gig Performer has liberated my best audio plug-ins from the confines of the studio and finally made it practical to bring multiple instances of them to the performance stage. Simultaneous MIDI processing makes a versatile system. I now have one very compact live setup!

• Gig Performer is like a breath of fresh air for laptop performers. Stable, efficient and without all the extra unnecessary features that increase cpu and distract from a smooth playing experience. It’s a lean, mean performing machine and will find a home with many players looking to augment, or completely replace their hardware rigs.P.S. I just made a gig with 50 instances of Uhe Diva in it. Resting cpu = 2%. wow!

• Finally, a plugin host that truly addresses the needs of live performers

• Gig Performer is a game changer for me. Not only can I create any combination of sounds with this but also perform them live with seamless switching.The only limitation with Gig Performer is your imagination.

• Gig Performer is an amazing tool for my unconventional set up. Allowing me to access the full power of my laptops into my system. It is quickly becoming an incredible asset to my live shows.

• I was also impressed that it handled midi fx, I wasn't expecting that 🙂
