VST plugin host for Unity engine. Supports 64bit VST2 plugins on Windows only. Does not support Midi input to plugins at this stage.

UnityVSTHost

VST plugin host for Unity engine.

This is a very limited implementation of the standard:

• It supports 64bit VST2 plugins on Windows only.
• Does not support MIDI input.
• Has no GUI support- it simply populates the inspector with all of the paramaters from the plugin.

Basically it uses OnAudioFilterRead to call the DSP callback on loaded plugins and can send them parameters.

Note that I have removed the C++ dll source code repo as Steinberg do not allow the vst2 library to be shared and they also no longer distribute it.

Warning: this code was part of my grad research in 2016 and is a dumpster fire, enter at your own peril.

unityvsthost's Issues

Does not support Win32 VST plugins

First of all, amazing work. Thanks for finally making a VST2 host for Unity.
However Unity crashes when the VST2 plugin is 32 bits and not 64. Did you ever try to do a 32 bits version? What should be changed, your dll? Would it be straightforward to compile it for win32?

Thanks

Licence

Most of us can't even look at GPL3 code let alone use it!

If (as the readme implies) this isn't career defining, value-creating, "I might earn money from selling commercial licences" code - would you consider a slightly more lenient licence?

Do you see any chance, getting this to run on Android?

Hi Chris-TopherW,

I`m working on a music app for Android and it would make my life so much easier, if I could use VST plugins as effects. Do you see any possibility to get this running, or can you describe where the problem lies for that?

That would be really nice.

Example file isn't working

Hi There! that sounds very cool, a VST2 host!!! I tried loading the example file, and all the code compiles very well, although the prefabbed gameobjects in scene are marked in red and missing. I stried loading the host and delay code, the host seems to be blank regarding DLL's and the effect code runs ok with delay, although I couldn't see the effect DLL in unity3D...

Nice work though, at least someone has tried to run VSTI in unity!!! Would love some help to run the host and effect!!!

Cheers, Ant
