BlitzMax VSTi DLL

Hi
I'm just starting to look at the possibility of porting the Steinberg VST interface to BlitzMax, allowing for things like VSTs and VSTi's to be created.

Before I spend too much time on this, I thought i'd first check to see if anyone else has attempted this, or has any pointers or gotcha's...

Thanks
JP

I'm using VST3 in my current project (DJ app) but it's all handled on the c++ side, I didnt need to have access to it from BlitzMax.

I think you may have a few issues wrapping VST, for a start you need modal loops for the GUI windows, so you can expect to need at least some extra C/C++.

Chris C made quite a bit of progress into wrapping VST at one point (I have the source somewhere on another machine), but I havent seen him about for quite a while now, and dont know how he'd feel about sharing it.

Wrapping VST would open a huge new broad of possibilities for Blitz. VST synths and plug-ins and VERY popular!

Yes, it'll be just incredible.

Could you ask him if you can share the Chris C VST source so we could help moving forward?
