Re: What about a VST SDK wrapper?

greetings smile  sorry so late but saying im swamped right now is a huge understatement.  i briefly skimmed the link.  what is the SDK for?  does it interface with files generated from the virtual instrument products they produce?

Re: What about a VST SDK wrapper?

The VST SDK is a way to create DLL that will receive sounds and midi, process them and output the generated processed results.
With this SDK you can create DLL that have a specific format (well have several routines to initialise, process the sound and midi).

VST is used by almost all Virtual instruments out there.

Someone did a Delphi wrapper to the VST SDK, so people now are using Delphi a lot to design synthesizers and effects that can be used in stand alone with a VST HOST or inside a music composition softwar elike CUBASE, FRUITY LOOPS and so on...

Having a VST wrapper for Blitzbasic would open Blitz to the very active DSP developpers, and would permit things that are not done yet, like doing a synthesizer interface in full 3D.
