traumatic, yah music is going ok atm. I still have some production issues but getting the tones from my head -> computer seems to get better and better :) Done some ok stuff lately. Drums are still my major issue, along with mastering. But im getting better..
Glad to hear you're still at it and making progress.

I didn't mean to say anything that could be rated as arrogant or against
your skills - hope you didn't get my remark that way! I was just trying
to be funny.

Music is a gift - take good care of it! :)

Good programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, should be hard to read.

V2, your work is just awesome! Very impressive!
Are you specialized in GUI design?

Isn't a VST basically a shared DLL with a procedure name "main()", with a unique ID that's seperates it from other VST's, and code that generates noise?

Thanks a lot! :)
I'm not really specialized in UI design, but do it quite much (for industrial HMIs + Win/Web Apps).
I also try to make some music in my sparetime - that's why I think this project is quite interesting.
(If you're interested check: Arrival Song, Space Rider or Push Me - some are not ready yet or contain too much bass).

I'd like to make a test tune with the 8-bit machine too! :D

BTW: I noticed the layouts are quite dark - my TFT sucks badly... :(

#1 - Excellent gui design. Respect :!:

I used Cubase with a couple of synths - it's not a cover - but it also reminded me somehow of the "Silver Surfer"... therefore the name "Space Rider".

You are correct. A VST is just a DLL with the function main() which exports the Digital Signal Processing (DSP). It can also export Fast Fourier Transforms, but I think that was used for effect DLLs.
And each VSt has it's own unique 4 characters ID. The ID of ReACTor is raco.

That's what I thought. I'm downloading the SDK right now. If you could be any help on this, that would be great.

You mean that you're downloading the Steinberg VST SDK? That was my first ticket to VST development. So, if you know some C++, it wouldn't be hard for you to convert it to PB. However, it was for me so hard I had to ask many people on how to convert it to VB, and then I could convert that easily to PB.

I wonder if I still have the VB source..
