RE: [microsound] how to write a vst?? Re: [microsound] AR models

[mark <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually VST's are fairly straight forward if you can program in C/C++

You can get the SDK from here - its free but you have to give them your 
details which is fair enough

http://www.steinberg.net/developers/VST2SDKAbout.phtml

The SDK comes with sample code so if you have DSP code in C you can 
probably get it working pretty easily. There are various interface
options 
- you can go the whole hog and do a GUI or just use the "string"
interface 
in which a fairly primative slider interface is autogenerated to control

the parameters of your choice. No Windows specific knowledge is needed 
unless you really want to go to town on the GUI. The mailing list is
also 
very helpful and very friendly to the beginner. 

The other option is DirectX plugins - although DirectX can be a bit
overwhelming 
if you get the SDK (from http://www.thedirectXfiles.com) you get lots 
of sample/template stuff and they turn out to be as easy as VST's 

Of course there are plenty of other things you can use for playing with 
your algorithms - I use PD and there is of course that old chestnut
Max\MSP 
if you've got a mac.

Hi, 

some time ago there was a link on the steinberg.net site to the free vst
software development kit . but i can't find it anymore.

i'll do further investigations....

anyway, you have to be profound in ms visual c++, com and directx
programming (which includes atl) for the plugin infra-structure.

cheers
