Here is my newly released VST hosting library (C++, Windows)

https://www.turboirc.com/vstx (https://www.turboirc.com/vstx)

You are welcome to try it and give me some feedback.

Features:

• x86 and x64 plugins
• Supports plugins with unlimited inputs and outputs, both midi and audio (effects and instruments)
• VST 2.x and VST 3.x with a common API
• Use as a static library
• Use as a DLL
• Use as a COM component for hosting VST plugins outside your process (Plugin sandboxing with same API)
• VST Programs and Units
• VST Automation Parameters
• Preset Load/Save
• 32 or 64 bit processing, any sample rate, any block size
• Menu, ribbon or your own interface for the editor
• Use it without Steinberg SDK
• Use it with the Steinberg SDK if you require access to the low level detail

Best,
Michael

Looks interesting. The home page is a bit unclear about the license. I suppose it is not open source since as there is a contact form to obtain a license.
Is there a price?
Is it windows only? Is there mac support on the way?
How does it differ from using JUCE as plug hosting library etc.

The prices vary depending on who's asking and for what purpose. I'm thinking of making the DLL version free for individual developers.

Windows only.

The point is to use a clean, common COM based interface for both VST 2.x and 3.x without messing with the Steinberg SDK at all and provide sandboxing of the plugins (ability to run outproc).
