Interesting.

Is REAPER included in that set of hosts? If not, it would be cool to offer the ability to not use that workaround.

The problem is that unless you explictly close the bridged plugin windows, they'll remain open when you switch tracks in REAPER.

I see...

We can give that a try, I'll upload something soon. Brb.

Sweet!

Here's another one:

This doesn't appear to bridge 64bit PLAY (a plugin from EastWest) to 32 bit.

I get this error:

---------------------------
AuxHost
---------------------------
Could not load library F:\AUDIO\MAIN\VSTPlugins\East West\play_VST_x64.dll
(Error 193)
---------------------------
OK

Ok, tell me how it goes with this one:

Regarding PLAY, it won't work, since it's a 64 bit plugin. This is just for 32bit plugins.

(Although this can be used for bridging 64bit plugins to 32bit hosts, it's not implemented currently, I can add that later if there's demand for it)

Oh! I thought it would also bridge 64 plugs such that you could also run them in a 32 bit host. Oh well; that's not really what I'd want it for anyway.

I'll try your new build.

Ah, nice. When you switch tracks in REAPER, it now closes the bridged plugin's window.

So, I think you were saying in an earlier post that you couldn't get access to a 64bit host's window handle. Does that mean you can't embed the plugin inside of REAPER's FX window? (I'm not sure if you're familiar with REAPER, but plugins open inside of REAPER's effects windows by default.

Its not a deal-breaker though. I won't ask for a refund.

Now, it only allows one bridged window open at a time if you have multiple briged plugs in one REAPER FX chain. (Which could be a nice option.)

Cool!

I can access the 64bit host's window handle, but I can't put the gui in it (or at least so far I haven't been able to do so).

I did tried it before, but the window would always show blank, so it'll maybe have to remain this way forever.

Hum, I can open multiple windows here, how do I do to reproduce that?

Actually, if you double click the plugin entry in REAPER's effect window, it will allow multiple plugs open; but, it also opens what seem to be more FX windows. Weird.

Nevermind. I confused myself.

This is so cool.

I wonder if the REAPER devs would work with you to make this nicer inside of REAPER.

Keep up the good work. I'll keep you posted.

Ya know, I got to thinking:

If you're testing in REAPER, maybe your having the same gui re-draw issue that some plugs have in REAPER. For example, with PLAY, when you first load it its blank. What I do, is force a re-draw by doing WinKey + D twice. (I.e., show desktop, and then comeback.) That seems to force the plugin to re-draw.

Let's maybe give that a try with JBridge?

That happened with Cantabile, but I'll do some more investigation on that matter in the future. Can't promise any change on that, as you'll certainly understand.

Cool.

One request I just thought of:

Maybe you could have it so that the bridged plugin is automatically the window in front/focus when you single click on it in REAPER's effects chain. Currently, when you click on the bridged plugin, it opens the window, but you then have to click on it on the task bar (or alt+tab to it).

The reason: Its nice to browse through all of your plugins in your chain using arrow keys.

And that's for the .b version.
