It works! Asio - Vst - Rewire

Dear PB community,
It took me 2 years but finally I think I got it working!

(PB4)
This is the first PB implementation of a
VST host with
Asio and
Rewire support...
I'll be participating in the Developers Challenge of
kvraudio
(deathline=30sept)
Surely I will be the only one with a submission
programmed in PureBasic/Fasm.
So I thought why not pre-release it on this forum first.
You can download the free version here (version 1.0RC1)
All feedback/bugreporting is much appreciated

(release date=30sept)

Do you use asio directly or OpenAsio? I try to use asio directly, but it seems Steinberg did something fundamentally wrong when creating their IASIO interface. I really can't figure out the calling convention.

Looks great!
How did you get the custom background? Did yu use a GUI Skinning appliccation or a fullscreen Image?
I usually use a fullscreen PNG fil reduced to 256 colors so it is small!

OpenAsio.

This seem to be a great application. I'm playing in a band and looking for a special application that fits my needs of playing VSTi in stage.
Does anyone know a program that allows me to
- select "setups" by simply entering number an hitting <enter>
- each setup consists of one or more VSTi with preset selection, individual setup of MIDI-channels and a little mixer for the VSTi?
- easy interface for musicians (not technical people)
This is my dream of playing VSTi on stage without any trouble and technical barriers.

Hi Kukulkan,
I am still working on this program. (in a rather slowly way though).
One of these days I am going to upload a new version (1.3.x). (with much better UI behaviours...)
One of the features that I am going to develop is exactly what you are looking for :
"Modular presets". (all vst's will be preloaded, so switching between different modular setup's should be quite fast)
What you also can do is use good old XT 1.4. (different instances per setup) or Cantabile, Chainer....etc...
Hope this helps.

Hi eriansa,
Cantabile looks great, but it is absolutely bloated. I need a
simple way to intuitive make music. And Chainer is good, too. But I need to use the mouse too often. I do not need many midi-rules and filters and and and...
More something like:
Code: Select all
[setup name] Setup Number: [1-1000]
channel VSTi key-range mix-level
-----------------------------------------------------
[1-16] Crystal VSTi C1-G3 [slider]
[1-16] Free Alpha VSTi G#3-C6 [slider]
-----------------------------------------------------
Master Volume [slider]
Master effects [add effect]
--------------------------------------
[Classic Master Limiter] [remove]
--------------------------------------
[load] [save] [config]
Additionally the obligatory settings-dialog (midi interface, ASIO, VST folder etc.) and some sort of load/safe feature. Double-Click on a VST(i)-name in the list should open the VST(i) GUI. Saving the setups should save the VST(i) preset configuration, too (like any sequencer). An additional transpose-feature may be a future enhancement. A separate LIVE-mode should disable the GUI to allow only switching setups (MIDI-Program-Change, numeric keystrokes) and playing. A commandline-parameter to start in LIVE-mode or to directly load a setup would be great, too (computer should boot directly to the first setup. Perfect on stage...).
Only a dream... I never ever programmed something using VST or VSTi's. So I'm not able to do this in an appropriate time.
