VST 3 Examples VST 3.7 SDK for developing VST plug-in

VST 3 plug-ins Examples

The SDK includes some plug-ins and host implementation examples.The Legendaries AGain and ADelay ADelay, thanks Paul Kellet the OpenSource mda Plug-ins, a basic Note Expression Synth supporting "Note Expression Event" and an example of pitchnames support plug-in (PitchNames) and more.

Note: They use cmake as project generator: cmakeUse
In order to add your own plug-ins check: addownplugs

# ADelay

Very simple delay plug-in:

- only one parameter (a delay)

Check the folder public.sdk/samples/vst/adelay of the SDK!

Classes:

- ADelayProcessor
- ADelayController

# AGain

The SDK includes a AGain plug-in which is a very simple VST 3 plug-in. This Plug-in:

- is multichannel compatible
- supports bypass processing
- has an automated gain parameter
- has an Event input bus (allowing to use noteOn velocity to control the gain factor)
- has a VU peak meter
- uses the VSTGUI4 library
- a version of this plug-in with side-chaining is available (showing a plug-in using the same controller and different components)
- a AAX version is available
- a AUv3 version is available

Check the folder public.sdk/samples/vst/again of the SDK!

Classes:

- AGain
- AGainWithSideChain (used for side-chain version)
- AGainController

# TestChannelContext

Very simple plug-in:

- showing how to use the Steinberg::Vst::ChannelContext::IInfoListener interface
- using a generic UI

Check the folder public.sdk/samples/vst/channelcontext of the SDK!

# HostChecker

- Instrument, Panner and Fx plug-in checking the VST 3 support of a host.
- a AAX version is available

Check the folder public.sdk/samples/vst/hostchecker of the SDK!

# TestLegacyMIDICCOut

Very simple plug-in:

- showing how to use LegacyMIDICCOutEvent which allow to generate MIDI CC as output event
- VST parameters change which create LegacyMIDICCOutEvent Event

Check the folder public.sdk/samples/vst/legacymidiccout of the SDK!

Classes:

- LegacyMIDICCOut::Plug

  - Tracker : Pitch tracking oscillator, or pitch tracking EQ
- Instruments (1 Event input, 1 stereo Audio output):
  - DX10 : Sounds similar to the later Yamaha DX synths including the heavy bass but with a warmer, cleaner tone.
  - EPiano : Simple EPiano
  - JX10 : The plug-in is designed for high quality (lower aliasing than most soft synths) and low processor usage
  - Piano : Not designed to be the best sounding piano in the world, but boasts extremely low CPU and memory usage.

Based on the OpenSource mda plug-ins (http://mda.smartelectronix.com/), this set of plug-ins demonstrates how wrap DSP code in a VST 3 plug-in.
