WANTED: Java VSTi host

The reason _I_ chose Java is the same reason I chose it for other applications: cross-platform. I have many friends who would use the application and some are on Linux, some on Mac, some PC, etc.

Judging from the results I've gotten from JSyn, I have no doubt Java will be able to handle it. It's just a matter of getting it all rigged (hacked?) up.

Cheers,
Dr.E

This might be realtime enough! :D

I don't know, are the images displayed every 20ms ? with precision.
Is the buffer of the audio very small or is it a 100ms buffer that the audio thread can easily feed ?

Imagine your host is OK 99% of the time with its 5ms buffer and the other 1% it requires 10ms.
Each time it takes 10ms to process and display the audio, the soundcard produces a click. 1% is every 500ms... So 2 click per second...

This is the kind of problem a Java host may have that a demo like this doesn't have at all.

What about a .mod player? :) I think, it's not impossible to write a java VST host. Maybe, it would be slow as hell, but it could work.

LAoE is a java based audio editor, dunno much about it as I never installed it & the site hasn't been updated for a long time - dunno if it is helpful.

:lol: you are too funnay

Just this morning I saw how fast Eclipse is. Friends Powerbook, not underspecced at all, was trying to load the AutoComplete for a Karel class. Took about 10 seconds. That is SOO fast, man!
