I've never seen this thread before!

Very(!) interesting

The following are links from my favorites folder which I had posted under two different headings: "Audio Software Programming" and "Advanced Synth Programming", many many years ago on the old CM/FM forum.

I deleted all the dead links I came upon, which sadly amounted to (approx) half the total, with about 70% being in the synthesis types, and Advanced Synth Programming sector...

There were a number of KVR (lets split this here) type glitches posting this, which I fixed as best I could, to keep things (mainly book/article info) as together as possible. There may be some duplicates, and they aren't organized like they used to be, but... I'm tired, man!

Yeah, there seem to be quite a lot of them; I didn't check them all but I actually think I got more 404s than useful stuff, which is a shame.

I went through it, and deleted all the dead links. WOW ~ makes me sad... and I re-ordered stuff as best I could.

A good reminder to "save page as", when you find something interesting.

Example how to implement oversampling in VST plugins using SoX resampler as-is or to use SoX resampler implulse response only. Sample VST plugin source code included. Also Molot compressor oversampler and saturator source code included (don't miss "[archive]" links in the article). Also simple "acceleration limiter" VST plugin source code included.

See my short paper, VST.txt, at jdmcox.com for my take on how VST works. That paper also references my (for Windows) PianoRollComposer.cpp (I'm still working on the VST/ASIO routines). It works, but it needs work. It's written in C and compiled with Visual C++ 6.0. And, being written in C, it's simple to understand compared to some other source code examples.

Does anyone know if U-He's source code archive is anywhere? This link gives a 404: http://www.u-he.com/vstsource/

Keith99 · Post by **Keith99** » Wed Sep 05, 2012 5:12 pm

Its ok, after a bit of Googling I discovered it had been wiped by some attack on U-He's site but I managed to access an old copy via: http://web.archive.org/web/200710122332 ... vstsource/

DougCox · Post by **DougCox** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 6:31 pm

My PianoRollComposer.cpp now seems to work fine with the two VST plug-ins I've tried (on my laptop). The VSTthread routine receives MIDI data from a MIDI file or a MIDI keyboard and plays it through ASIO4ALL (hard-coded simply because I think it's the best, so why bother with anything else). The routine is very simple and very short (considering what it does). I reserve the right to have made some mistakes in it, though. It's at jdmcox.com
