By kv331audio » Thu May 30, 2019 11:20 am 2 Replies. Jan 19, 2006 KVR Audio News: Steinberg has announced the release of the SDK for a new version of its Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plug-in interface standard. The latest 2.4 version of the VST plug-in standard offers new features for developers of audio applications and plug-ins, including full support for 64-bit audio, double precision floating point capability and complete compatibility with the newest.
this repository is an updating and reformatting of the defacto examples that come with the VST 2.4 SDK. they have been updated to play nice with Xcode 4.3 and OS X.
â this Xcode project assumes
vstsdk2.4 is installed in ~/Code . if you'd like to install it elsewhere, you will need to relink the vstsdk2.4 group in the project.

VST 2.4 is still mandatory if you want to be compatible with most of the DAW / Sequencer applications on the market.
For this first article, weâll talk about Visual Studio on Windows. 1. Debug 32 bit VST in Visual Studio
When it comes to debugging, you want something fast!
Hereâs some useful softwares for debugging. We need applications that can take a VST plugin as command line argument, are lightweight, fast to open, and bug-free (ideally). 1.1 Setup debugging in your Visual project
1) open the properties of your project (Menu -> Project -> Properties , or right click on the project name in the solution explorer and choose âpropertiesâ).
Then go to âConfiguration Propertiesâ -> Debugging
2) then you need to fill the three first fields with the right information
Command : the path to the VST host application
Command Arguments : the command line arguments you pass to the executable, in our case, the name of the plugin we are coding. Working Directory : the directory where your plugin is ! in our case, the debug directory.
Now you can use âstart debugging (F5)â : this will launch the VST host application, with your plugin loaded in. You can set debug break points in your code
1.2 Debug VST with Cantabile 1.2 Lite
Cantabile 1.2 lite
download : Cantabile 1.2 lite on archive.org
Cantabile lite is fast, has a clean and nice interface, and can take a VST plugin as command line argument.
1) installation :
if youâre on Windows XP, just run the setup executable and follow the instructions. if youâre on Windows Vista , or Windows 7 or higher, run setup as administrator and change the target directory for the application : choose a target directory other than âProgram Files (x86)â, because Cantabile may need to write log files (useful when debugging). You can install it in something like C:/MyPrograms/ .
2) setting up the Cantabile VST Host application :
You can make your workflow even faster with some settings, launch Cantabile Lite then go to Tools -> Options : in âGeneralâ tab : uncheck âprompt to save modified sessionsâ in âStartup / shutdownâ tab : uncheck âPrompt before exitingâ and check âEscape key exitsâ in âVST Pluginsâ : check âAutomatically open plugin editor when loading pluginsâ
In âGeneralâ tab you also have the âDiagnostic and troubleshootingâ button:
You have useful options when it comes to VST debugging.
Cantabile can write a log file, you have different log level, the log file may be useful for debugging.
Cantabile can also route the audio in directly to the plugin, itâs useful when debugging VST effects.
1.3 Debug with SAVIHost 32 bit
VST Speek in Savihost
You can download Savihost 32 here : http://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm
Like Cantabile, you can run it directly from the debugger.
Savihost have also two useful command line parameters for debugging : /noexc : âNo Exception Checkâ it turns off the outermost exception handler. /noft : âNo Fault Toleranceâ : turns off all exception checks. 1.4 VST Plugins Unit Test
informations and download : http://www.savioursofsoul.de/Christian/programs/tools/#VUnit
note : the PDF manual is only present in the .exe setup download.
This VST host doesnât make any sound, itâs designed for stress test! You can torture test your plugin : this program runs automated tests for your VST plugin. It can be helpful for testing your plugin in extreme conditions. 1.5 VST Host by Hermann Seib
VST Host (open source)
download here : http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm
Sylenth vst free. download full version. You can use it like Savihost, it also has the same command line option for the exception checking :
/noexc : âNo Exception Checkâ it turns off the outermost exception handler. /noft : âNo Fault Toleranceâ : turns off all exception checks. 1.6 VST Host open source
For even more advanced debugging, you can load the open source version of VST Host and set a multi project in Visual Studio with VST Host and your plugin.
1) load VST Host open source v1.16q by Hermann Seib : http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm
2) you may need to download ASIO 2 SDK http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developers.html and / or Microsoft DirectX SDK : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812
We suppose you already have the VST SDK 2.4.
3) open the VST host solution file
3) right click on the solutionâs name in the Visual Studio solution browser and choose Add->Existing projectâ¦
then select the vcproj/vcxproj file of your plugin project
4) select âstart debugging (F5)â : this will launch VST Host, then load your plugin from VST Host : choose your plugin .dll file in your debug folder, then quit VST Host without unloading the plugin. VST host remember the last opened plugin(s) et reload it the next time. Or you can just setup the âcommand argumentâ in the debugging tab of the VST Host project properties so it loads your plugin when launched from the debugger.
5) now you can setup break points in your plugin code AND in the VST host code : this can be helpful for a better understanding of how your plugin communicate with the host and vice versa.
