Regarding eXT: the problem has been confirmed and fixed by its developer. The fix will be available in the next update!

Christian

PS: He seems to be very fast here as well!

Great to see the wrapper being worked on! I'm about to wrap a whole set of synths. Maybe its time to update the oversampler now

?

Anyway keep up the wonderful work Christian and all

Try the standalone converter. Until all this problems have been solved this is the savest way.

I also used the one that was an exe in the 7zip package - isn't that it? Both caused crashes with anything I tried to wrap (although it was in eXT so maybe that's why)

No -- just tried in Cantabile (wrapped Helix) and crashed that too

Yes, that should do the trick. To register the shell extension you need to use the installer (or use regsvr32 "Oversample Shell Extension.DLL")

The problem is Helix here. For some reason it crashes the virtual hosting. Also it crashes my VST plugin unit test, which is a strong indication that something with the plugin is still wrong. I'll contact the developers and ask them for a statement.

This was the free beta anyway

Ah, OK. This would make sense as it displays a dialog prior to its start. I guess it crashes, since it could not display that message (suppressed by the virtual host).

If you are not sure whether a plugin will work, please make sure it passes as much tests in my VST Plugin Test Unit Tool (http://www.savioursofsoul.de/Christian/ ... =111#VUnit).

Kind regards,

Christian

Christian please update the link on 1st page

I need to convert around 300+ synths so I think a batch is in order. Please tell me theres commandline arguments

Done!

I'll add some command line options to the standalone convert tool now. Just give me a couple of minutes.

The standalone tool in the 7z archieve does now contain some command line options:

OversampleVstPlugin.exe *.dll

will create wrapped VST plugins of all VST plugins inside that directory.

Ok great idea. This will make it much easier to batch. Would be also nice if you could define the fucntions that are used specifically in the conversion, file naming etc.

BTW I get this error message when I try to open a wrapped plugin in any host.

As I said some pages before, this method of wrapping the plugins is very critical. In case a wrapped plugin don't work, please check whether the plugin has potential problems using my VST Plugin Unit Test Tool. If you copy it to your VST subdirectory and open it you can scan all plugin at once.

If the plugin fails more than the NaN/read beyond blocksize test, it is likely that the plugin doesn't work in the wrapper. In that case it depends on the test, but most probably it's a fault of the plugin and needs to be fixed by the plugins author.

Kind regards,

Christian

Thanks for the info. I probably wouldn't have read back to that particular post unless you said something

.

Does this wrapper use code from Chris Walton's oversampler (or vice versa)? I vaguely remember reading something about you 2 doing a collaboration on oversampling. If so, its strange as 1.4 does not crash any plugins (yet) on my system but this new version does.

Anyway I dont think this wrapper version is going to work now as every plugin is coming up with that same message
