PluginUI.Host.Vst2

VST 2.4 plug-in hosting for PluginUI.Host: VST 2 plug-ins are scanned, listed and played like VST 3 ones.

Vst2Hosting.Register();                       // the scanner and PluginLoader now handle .dll / .so VST 2 modules
using var synth = Vst2Hosting.Load(@"C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\MySynth.dll");
synth.Prepare(48000, 512);
synth.AddMidiEvent(MidiEvent.NoteOn(0, 0, 60, 100));
synth.Process(512);
File.WriteAllBytes("bank.fxb", synth.GetState());
  • Scanning: one plug-in per module, or every plug-in of a shell module (Vst2Module.ShellPlugins); libraries without a VST 2 entry point are skipped; 32-bit modules are reported as such.
  • Processing in 32-bit float (processReplacing; the accumulating process of VST 1 plug-ins too), MIDI to and from the plug-in, position and tempo (audioMasterGetTime), latency, tail.
  • Parameters with their names, units and steps, typed values (effString2Parameter); programs.
  • Presets: .fxp (one program) and .fxb (bank), as parameter values or chunks (FxPreset).
  • Editors (Vst2Editor), opened in a window of the host and resized at the plug-in's request.
  • 64-bit modules in a 64-bit process. NativeAOT compatible.
