Hi,

The past time i've learned a lot about the VST SDK.
Basicly learnig how to develope an FX plugin with GUI. Making my own algorithms, controls and so on.
Most of this i learned from the the VST FX example in the SDK.

Now i want to tweak the vstxsynth example so it works with the VST GUI. There's no example of a VSTi with GUI in the SDK and i'm having a hard time to implement it correctly.

Does someone know of a good example of this... maybe I can learn a little from it.
My head is full of ideas... but i can't realize it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGG!

Hey e-phonic,

It's really easy to make a synth with a vst gui. Just start with the effect vstgui example and copy over the few things you need to make it an instrument instead of an effect. Namely

a few things in the initialization:
...
setNumInputs (0); // no inputs
setNumOutputs (kNumOutputs); canProcessReplacing ();
hasVu (false);
hasClip (false);
isSynth ();
...

canDo's:
...
if (!strcmp (text, "receiveVstEvents"))
return 1;
if (!strcmp (text, "receiveVstMidiEvent"))
return 1;

...

and of course processEvents so you can read the midi messages. Off the top of my head, I think that's all you really need.
