VSTHost

[Bam]

Update auf 1.51

VSTHost is a demonstrational Windows program written in order to comprehend the inner workings of VST plugins. VSTHost is capable of:

    loading VST effects (aka "plugins")
    parameterizing / editing them
    sound output for VSTis
    MIDI-input and -output
    loading / saving .fxb files

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.
