Now it loads the saved settings. But anyway Winamp reloads the whole plugin by simply clicking the plugin on Winamp's DSP plugin list.
It's a feature not a bug, they would say.

Jeez that's fast! Works perfect again! Thanks. :D

That's what I was afraid of... So I'll just have to get rid of the habit of trying to open the config dialog by double clicking the entry on the DSP list :roll:

Thanks again Christian, it works great!

Any chance for window resizing?... :)

That'll be done in some minutes, later this day...

Thank you, it works great for me! :-o
Cheers for posting :)

A little question: process() and processReplacing() functions are called with a fixed sampleFrames or it depends on the drivers used by winamp?
Because it should interesting to control latency, although I think it's winamp-dependent.

Thanks again for the great work,

The WinAmp Interface is C and the modify_samples function provide Channels, SampleRate, Bitdepth, NumberOfSamples and an audio buffer.
Although the latency depends on the output plugin, it is usually fixed (in my case 2048 samples). The plugin is called in a look ahead manner and not in realtime. This way it introduces latency and you can do nothing about it.

I'm going to write an output plugin to support ASIO, but I think i can't bring the latency further down.

Regards,

Christian

FYI-Personally I will not have much use for it...but want to say it worked well with 'chainer" as a host vst.

Winamp is in my net pc,so the only plug I had to open in chainer was a vst mp3 player...and it loaded an mp3 and played well...even while winamp was playing a streamed program!

What VST mp3 do you use?

This one I like alot so far.
It plays mp3`s like a sampler,(w/its controls).
It will also play .wav files too...but its not optimized for it as the mp3`s are.

Freeware too!

Thanks! It could just be me, but I've not found any VST mp3 players, and I would have thought there'd be a dozen or more.

Okay, it works fine in Chainer, but dsp_vst.dll doesn't. Chainer saw it and decided it wasn't a valid dll, apparently. It loaded for you with no problem?

What I did was;
-paste the dsp_vst.dll into the winamp plug-ins folder.
-open winamp-goto "menu/options/preferences/dsp/effects.
-click on "dsp_vst.dll" the click on configure active plug-in.
-Then browser opens....click in window and navigate to your chainer folder in program files.
-find the "chainer VST.dll" and click on it.

Now chainer will open as a default when you click on the winamp "configure plug-in" button each time.

Now you can use chainer to host any type vst plug-ins.

This is where I say, why didn't I think of that. It makes perfectly good sense -- now. :?

Thanks for this.
