![]() ![]() I have never done anything involving video as well as a lot of other aspects of Max. I happily admit that I do not have a lot of experience in many aspects of max. I have been using it to successfully build a standalone app to process all incoming midi including Lemur and a complex template control, that updates the control surface dependent on what track is selected in Cubase. That would make some really unsolvable problems (due to limitations of both Cubase and VEpro) doable. :-) The most prominent advantage of a DIY host would be that I could make the midi bidirectional, meaning, Midi (and OSC) could also be routed from the host to the main PC or Cubase. the thing is, I do want more than VEpro can offer me, but not at the price of being unstable or not running as efficiently. wouldn't updates of the VSTs force you to revisit the whole thing time and time again? Is that a waste of time to even expect a self-built system to work as well as a dedicated host? Even, if it was possible to get it to work as well. So, all of this has to be very stable and be as effective in voice streaming as VEpro. I need the ability to activate and deactivate Kontakt instances remotely (via Midi or OSC). I am referring to load a huge bunch of Kontakt instruments and those samples will easily use up 80% of 128gb of Ram on that PC. ![]() Is it worth trying this once more? I am not talking about merely loading some synths or samplers. Now, with the arrival of Max 8, I read there are a quite some enhancements regarding the efficiency of the code. It would, however, still offer a lot of advantages to be able to do this. ![]() That is whyI abandoned the idea of hosting the VSTs inside a self built host and kept using VEpro. Secondly, it was not as reliable and caused crashes from time to time. Firstly, playback stressed the computer resources way more than a dedicated VST-host, although I tried to play with the settings. It turned out, however, that the outcome cannot match something like Vienna Ensemble pro. PS : a very exciting project ( a VST to AAX wrapper by Sugar Bytes TransVST) has been canceled by Avid.I have been trying to build a VST-host Standalone app with Max 7. Preferences, the Preferences dialog will open automatically, so that you can set up your VST Shell X (free) load your VSTi & your VST plugins but maybe quite outdated.Ĥ°) Go to your applications folder & launch JackPilot in your Jack folderĥ°) If it’s the first time you’ve run JackPilot, and/or if you’ve not yet saved your Jack Watch the video below to see how to do it VSTLord (free) load your VSTi fast & easy, just need to create audio / midi configuration and you're good to go Ugly VST Interface (free) load your VSTi only create your audio / midi config & you can play your AU or VST instruments directly in Protools SoundFlower (free) Route any audio in your Protools like Logic Audio, Cubase etc. Reaper (free for 30 days) works like a charm with plugins & instruments ![]() Otherwise you can Rewire / route your VST plugins / audio in Protools with a lot of softwares such as :īidule / Plogue (95$) works like a charm with plugins & instruments + is very versatile but can be a little complicated for newbies. I am not pretending my method is better than the others, BUT what I say is that this works fine with Protools 8/9/10 so far, it's free and if you use it, you'll be able to import tons ad tons of free VST plugins directly in your favorite Protools software. In fact there are plenty of methods available depending on the software you want to use and the budget you have for that. The complete answer is Yes but you'll have to cheat a little bit Protools to do so. It's been quite a long time since I had the idea to write an article about a burning subject like Is it possible to use VST plugins with Protools ? ![]()
