building VST3 plugins #415

Closed ahihi closed 4 years ago

ahihi commented 4 years ago

hello,

since the VST2 SDK no longer seems to be available anywhere, i am trying to build a VST3 plugin from my Faust code. do i understand correctly that the faust2vst and faust2faustvst backends only support VST2, and so faust2juce is the only option for VST3?

additionally i would like to build my plugin with no GUI at all. is there an easy way to achieve this with faust2juce (or any other backend)?

thank you! iPlug2 was super simple to set up. i'll direct further questions to them :)

@sletz - I know we can do the iPlug/JUCE route for VST3, but it would be nice if there was a faust2vst3 tool that was as simple and straightforwards as faust2vst and faust2au. The faust2xxx tools are especially great for iterating quickly on DSP experiments, and since the VST 2 SDK is no longer available it would be really good to have an option for VST 3.

How hard would this be to implement?

sletz commented 3 years ago

A bit of work for sure. Are you able to help?

matthewjumpsoffbuildings commented 3 years ago

I am happy to help testing, I took a look at the source of faust2vst to see if I could understand it enough to try and make faust2vst3 myself but sadly it's all over my head.

Can the core faust command line compiler generate cpp files that would be VST3 ready? If so perhaps you can point me to an example of how to do that and I can try and cobble something together?

The faust2faustvst is more recent and complete and should be better adapted to VST3
