v0.5.7

A little, but long due, update :
  • Bypass/mute now flushes the audio buffers (preventing delays from playing the remaining buffers when turned back on)
  • Suppressed a click noise on mute/unmute
  • Audio devices configuration can be opened when the device is in use (Audio streams are suspended if needed. For Asio interfaces : you may have to update the device list afterward to rebuild new buffers)
  • Added a button in the toolbar to always open the selected plugin gui
  • Dragging a bank file (fxp or fxb) on a container will load the corresponding plugin (you'll have to load the plugin one time to add it to the database)

    thanks a lot for the update. is there any place where i can check the future roadmap for this amazing app? if there isnt such info... could you please tell what you plan still to do ? the way i see it (except for the stability issues)it is already a very complete live plugin chainer :)

    There's no roadmap as i'm learning in the process, i can't tell what's feasible and what is not. It's just a matter of time, trial and errors, and that's why it is "experimental".
    For now, the midi support needs some improvements : a filter of some sort, maybe a clock sync... And the error handling could be improved too, it's kind of hard to tell what's going on when something bad happens.
    There's a lot of things to fix and improve, but I almost have the app I needed, so the rest will be based on suggestions and bug reports I suppose.
    Thanks for the support :)

    great update, thanks! i'm completely used to VstBoard and have substituted my Alesis Micron with a Behringer UMA25s and a netbook running VstBoard. :D

    what would be awesome to find in some future update is a possibility to route different MIDI channels to different instruments, so that one could switch between a sampler and synthesizer by changing the MIDI channel.

    " so that one could switch between a sampler and synthesizer by changing the MIDI channel."

    This might be useful for other tasks, but cant you do that by changing the vstboard program \ preset ?

    I would like to run this in ubuntu, are there any dependencies that would make this difficult/impossible?

    I ran some tests on linux a while ago, it seems to be feasible since Qt and portaudio are cross-platform. I managed to run the main application, but it needs to support other plugin formats, I don't know what's available on linux

    Hi Raphael! Big thanks for your software! Can you make VST programs (presets) and banks support loading in the next release?

    Regards, Eduard

    Hey! Thanks -both of you !
    You can drag&drop fxb and fxp files on your plugins if that's what you're looking for. Or you can directly drop a bank file on a panel to load the associated plugin. Hope this help...

    Hello developer VSTBOARD ! You are Already my idol !
    I wanted to report a problem I found with all your versions of this fantastic PLUGIN ..

    Within Cubase is not possible to "WRITE" automation directly from the UI of Vst Used ..

    I wanted to ask if you do this kind of change in the next version ..

    unfortunately for me is a big problem not being able to "WRITE" automation directly from the UI of Plugin interested (GlissEQ, BlueCat, etc. ..)

    I am Italian and I do not speak English very well, but I hope i made it clear.

    Thank you!

      Hi, and thanks :) Unfortunately you're right about that, there's no automation output on the plugins hosted by vstboard. So you can't send to your host what you touch on the plugin's UI. IIRC, I had some infinite loops with some misbehaving plugins and decided to "temporarily" remove the output pins to prevent them to crash everything. I never took the time to find a proper way to do that and, I'm sorry to say, I don't plan to work on vstboard any time soon (well, you never know... but nah, I don't really feel like it, even after all this time...)
      sorry for the annoyance ^^
