Andres, I have in the meantime posted a modified version of your earlier
version of vst4cs to Csound 5 CVS. 

The readme.txt in CVS summarizes my changes. The most important ones have
to do with making the plugin cross-platform by using the Csound API for
loading the plugins. This should enable the opcodes to work on OS X.

My version is working with monophonic scores only, does not suffer from
noise or dropouts, and also implements vstnote. I don't understand why
polyphony isn't working, as my changes are similar to other opcodes that I
have written that do work, and the log messages show correct program flow
and note turnons and turnoffs. Possibly the default program in the plugin
I'm testing with is simply monophonic -- I'll check that tonight.

I have made a large number of changes to your sources, so it may be tedious
for you to merge your new changes into the CVS code. I propose that I merge
your latest changes into the CVS code, and that you ask John ffitch, the
Csound administrator on SourceForge, for you to be made a developer in CVS
so that you and I can work with the same sources.

You don't need to summarize your changes for me, as I can download your
latest version and diff it with your earlier version. But I would be
interested to hear what you are planning to do next.

As for me, I'm planning to add a new opcode for loading a bank or program
and setting the program, to implement fractional pitches, and to enable the
plugin edit dialogs.

Hi all,

Version 0.1alpha of vst4cs is up. It's working properly (apparently) and a
new
opcode vstnote has been added. You might have to use large values for -b
and -B
to avoid choppiness in the audio (Increasing the latency... =( ). I hope the
portaudio teams solves the ASIO-mingw problem soon, so we can use this in
'true'
realtime.
In the meantime, any feedback and suggestions are very welcome.

Cheers,
Andres

vst4cs is a Csound5 plugin that allows VST plugins and instruments to be
used
inside Csound (on Windows).

Hi Michael.
It's great that you're also working to improve vst4cs. Actually the changes in
the code are not substantial and deal mostly with cleaning up and getting
vstnote working, which I think you've done already as well. I also added a bit
of documentation with links to free plugins that work with vst4cs.
Polyphony is working with my implementation of vstnote. I just put a comment
there to check later if something was needed for polyphony. All code commenting
from now on will be in english =) . I thought I would have time to clean up the
code before anyone became interested...

The vsthost application by Hermann Seib has a very through and complete
implementation of bank and program loading. I am planning to implement that, but
I wanted to be able to open the editor window first. Here a question. Could I do
it using fltk? I know a bit of wxWindows but if it is possible with fltk, it
would reduce dependencies (plus wxWindows for os X is not yet working).

Cheers
Andres
