Demo Cherry Voltage Modular Core and see if “Mini Plug In Host” works for this.juno987654321 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 1:51 am Aargh, it won't work. This idea in the end turns out to only work for insert effect plugins again. It's for the older Cubase versions and you can add the sidechain function to older insert effect plugins with this method, but still you'd have to use some insert effect plugin for this in the first place - whereas Performant is a VST that can function as an effect plugin on top of it. So I'm left with the same basic problem and the quadro option only works for some older vocoder plugins again.
Is there a free wrapper that can change the vst to a vst3 with the side chaining function?
You mentioned Blue Cat Patchwork but it's not free.
The wrapper seems the only thing left that might work now.
Another rather abstruse idea that came to my mind if there is no such wrapper:
I might create a virtual input signal from the other (Vital or Serum's) vst output signal, maybe with the banana voicemeter program, and reroute it into Cubase.
So I might e. g. open Cubase 2 times, send out the vst signal (from, say, Serum) I want to put into Perfomant to banana from the first Cubase instance and send this signal back in to the 2nd Cubase program, this time as a virtually created external vst input signal. The second Cubase program then treats it like an external input signal as if it were a guitar or some hardware synth or something and then I might finally be able to select it as an input signal for Performant...
But this is getting more and more awkward. A free wrapper which creates the sidechain input function on Performant would be better (for the CPU - or I'd have to use my 2nd laptop and connect it...) but I couldn't find any online.
Does this exist at all? Can you give me the dl link if it does?
If it does, then keep an eye out for people selling it used. I’ve seen people sell it pretty cheap, probably half the cost of Patchwork.
