Hey,

I'm familiar with the wrappers that allow VST instruments/effects to be used in hosts based on DirectX components (like Sonar). But are there wrappers that go in the opposite direction, making a DX instrument or effect useable in a VST enviornment (say, like Chainer)?

I Googled and searched but didn't come up with anything. It may be too obtuse a request, but it may have some advantages right around the corner (Dimension in Project 5 maybe?).

Thanks for any insights,
Envoy

Something like VB-AUDIO? The FFX-4 is a freebie.

No, not something like - that is exactly what I was looking for! And free?

Unbelievable. Landphil, thanks a million!

The only drawback of ffx4 is that you can't use DX synths. Console will let you run DX synths as well.

Excellent. The current use was to simply use a particular DX effect, but I'll keep that in mind if I opt for Project 5 and the Dimension synth, which I believe is only DX.

Again, thanks all for the tips!

He's looking for DXi to VST and not VST to DXi...
the Spin Audio wrapper is VST to DX.

Um, I think that is the opposite of what I want - that one allows VST use in a DX environment, which I've already got covered with DirXicizer (sp?) and Chainer.

Good catch, ew. I forgot about FFX's lack of instrument support.

In practice it never mattered to me - very few software instruments are DXi only - most come in several formats (apart from the few that come with Project 5 perhaps).

The VSTi version of FL Studio is probably the most sophisticated DX>VST wrapper available.

Is there anything this proggy can't do?

Be a small, one-trick pony? I just needed a simple wrapper (which was the first suggestion in the thread, and works perfectly for my needs!), not a full blown application. If I was the type to work in a FL environment, then I'd probably just work inside of that...

DX -> VST?
