TBridge - A free VST bridge based on NetVST.

[tonedef71]

I have tested it with Studio One and can confirm that TBridge-managed NetVSTHost/NetVST will bridge the MIDI note messages between the 32-bit VST and the 64-bit DAW. One limitation I discovered is that the automatic control mapping function of Studio One does not work. I guess this is because NetVSTHost is hosting the actual VST instead of the DAW? Wiggling a knob on the VST user interface hosted in NetVSTHost does not communicate those MIDI CC messages back to the DAW.

Another issue I discovered is if a VST host (e.g. Image Line MiniHost) saves a TBridge multi-VST preset as part of its own project format, only the first configured VST in the TBridge/NetVST preset will work when the project is later loaded back into the VST host. To get the the VSTs that were registered after the first one to continue passing through the MIDI note messages, I have to first de-register them from and then re-register them again with TBridge.

In case anyone is interested, I am attaching a PDF of the user guide for TBridge (in English):

Thanks~~
1.The first question, seems like surely...NetVST seems just return the audio data. I ever to find why, I think is's because the NetVST is based on the early VSTHost open source code, the early VSTHost can't do this...you may try the VSThost, last version,its slave mode can synchronize the host tempo to VSTHost, may it can achieve what you need. BTW, I want to embed VSThost in TBridge, but it seems has a bug, when it run in slave mode, the VST's sound play seems like a "zizi"\"cici", current noise, I don't know why... so...emmm If you know how to avoid this, I think it's very cool to embed VSTHost in TBridge.

2.if your "register\re-register" means the connect the network...it surely.....every time restart the daw, we need to re-connect it. I can set TBridge auto-connect， this is not difficult, but in DAW... there is no propel way to save the Netfilter/Netsynth connect.

click TBridge_1.0.0.6.zip and click "save as" https://gitee.com/totomato/TBridge/releases

right clicking only gives me the option for "save link as...", which tries to save a .JSON file.

left clicking takes me to another page asking me to log in

edit:
i will create an account and see if that works.

Thanks for your reminder, but it's surely safe， at least I have not added any risky things to it.
So...may you can decide whether to use it or not~

i tried to run this today. i cant select english. i followed your english tutorial to figure out which buttons to click to select english but nothing changed.
so i decided to follow the tutorials and see which buttons to press from there.
i clicked "insert > VST Browser", but i was given a dropdown menu and a list, but both were completely empty.
i also tried "file > open plugin", but when selecting a 32bit plugin nothing happened. i am not sure if thats what i am supposed to do in this menu though.


while typing this i reopened TBridge and noticed 2 other things.
i could not reopen the program until i opened task manager and stopped the program from running, i assume it is not closing properly by using the "X" button.
also, when i did reopen it it was in english, so the language problem is solved.

are my issues related to the download link i used? is it the same version on both links? i can confirm i have version 1.0.0.6 by looking at "help > about".

any solutions? OS is win10pro
thanks

Thanks for your feedback~
1.About translation, everytime user set the language, need to restart the TBridge to make it changed.
2.About can't not restart TBridge. For TBridge work properly, I set it just one instance running. When you click "X", TBridge just minimize to tray, you may neglect the right-down corner in tray, a TBridge icon is in there, just click it and TBridge will show. If you want to exit TBridge, just click file->exit.
3.About VST Browser, you need right-click the combobox, and you will see a menu, and click "Add", to add your vst path~
4.About 32-plugin, I can run it properly, so I don't know why either.....
Thanks again~

Hi, I have jBridge (since about 2 years ago, I needed it urgently then and I didn't know about any alternatives) but I'm not very happy with it, it doesn't work very well with certain plugins... Can I install Tbridge and use it alongside jBridge with Cubase 10 ?
(sorry if this was asked and answered before, I didn't have time to read the whole thread yet)

Hi, I don't test TBridge in Cubase, and...JBridge is better than TBridge, I just make it as a free alternative, so... may I can't anwser your question...
But...if your question means...use JBridge and TBridge at the same time, I think the anwser is yes....

Is it infected with the trojan occamy?

Windows antivirus prompting this:

TBridge_1.0.0.6\TBridge\TBridge.exe
Trojan:Win32/Occamy.C

I downloaded version 1.0.0.6 before seeing auron's message. Windows Defender automatically deleted the zip file and labeled the threat as severe. I, naively, dismissed the notification and downloaded the previous version (1.0.0.5). But before opening the file I checked it with Virus Total. 22 engines found a threat:
