Hello..im trying to implement you stuff in a minimal VST host...i kinda got it all for now but i cannot pass from here: (public class HostCommandStub : IVstHostCommandStub`
{
public IVstPluginContext PluginContext { get; set; }

public int GetVersion() => 2400; ) `

Hey..i was able to fix the thing ..i have my host going with GUI and Audio...but i cannot set the LFOs of the plugin i load into work?!

Can you share the code and perhaps a more detailed description of what you are trying to do?

Hi..thanks for replying..im trying to build a minimal host to support a VST called NAsty Looepr DELUXE that i made in SynthEdit! the code seems to be running but i have these 3 issues:
1 - the audio comes very distorted and sparkling
2 - i cannot make my sequencers and lfos to run properly..it seems they are very slow
3 - the MIDI In for playing the VST from an external MIDI keyboard is not accurate..it kinda stucks the controls..i also need CC in
Chek the code ...Thanks!

attached in next comment!!

I see you already set the thread priority. I would have guessed that would have been the issue.
Perhaps try a little different, like so: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.threadpriority?view=net-9.0 ?
Not sure if it will help, but...

(clicks in the audio are a symptom of sample values making a big jump)

[alienoiz]

well..im no real coder...but sometimes i make some apps..could you do me a snippet of how to reduce the clicks?...Thanks :)

[alienoiz]

Do you use Paypal? i might give you some money if i can get this to work..but i simply cannot get rid of these clicks in like 2/2 secs... and btw..can i use your thing in a commercial product?...im making a VST and i want to make a standalone version using your thing...but yeah..i want to sell it...so?! well..let me know if you can fix the clicks of the audio!! Thanks!!

[alienoiz]

Ah..I think i made it...im gonna run some tests on this..if all good...i give you some :P

[obiwanjacobi]

Audio clicks are a symptom of a problem - if you fix the problem you fix the clicks. Look for situations where you may not be 'playing' the entire audio buffer (missing end or beginning). You could also go over any code that transforms sample values (float<->uint), perhaps there is an error there? If all else fails, a quick fade in or fade out will solve it most of the time.

Commercial use of the VSTNET nuget binaries is allowed, with credits - if you change the VSTNET source code you also have to open-source it (I don't believe anybody has done this yet).

HI..i was able to fix it thanks..btw..i wont sell the host itself..i want to sell a plugin im creating..the thing is i always wanted to put it standalone....so i decided to collect info about how to?!...i guess is no problem...i will try to donate...not sure how much...but some ...later if you do not mind..i still need to test this properly and the plugin only might be ready for Xmas...but i wont forget you...Thanks!!
