Build application with VST Object

hgh's icon

Hallo,

for a Beginners Sound-Workshop i´m planning to make a Max Patch (build-Application as xy.exe) as a simple sequencer...) with VST-Object to implement some free VST-Instruments...

From the Max-Patch the users shuold send to the VST:
- Note On
- Frequency / Midi Note Number and pitchbend
- Velocity

Have anyone a cool patch to trigger a external VST? And can i do that/ Is the VST-Object as a .exe-application on a PC without a installed MAX/MSP working?

best, hgh

Actually I do. I'm in the middle of writing the third article of a series on how to replace apple MainStage with MaxMSP and I just finished integrating VST support into the model. Input from midi devices can be fed right into it, knobs and sliders can trivially chane parameters etc. Take a look at the first to articles. Although they deal only with MIDI, if the approach fits the style you want, then you will be happy with the VST stuff and I will be making it all available in the next couple of days

Here's the third part of my article ---- it describes how I encapsulate the [vst~] to make it easier to integrate into a live performance processor like MainStage
