Loading ...Last few days, I was looking for tools for building automation (I’m investigating the technology I may be using in my future home), so I borrowed this book. It seemed to be on a par with my ideal of home automation: Linux as a ground basis for steering the automation. Let’s see if it kept its promises.

We had small parallel processors with a few cores and the ability to launch serevral threads on one core, we have now many cores on one processor and at the other end of the spectrum, we have GPUs. CPUs vendors are now going in this direction with Larabee and Fusion, and GPUs will still have more cores/threads/… It’s thus mandatory to understand this shift now.

PyVST is a ctypes-based wrapper for the (open) VST standard developed by Steinberg for audio processing.
Version 0.1 provides basic access to the VST interface, as well as a script to analyze and display the audio process of a plugin. It can be easy-installed or downloaded on its Launchpad page.
Changelog for 0.1:

The issue was that in windowed mode, the plugin’s UI wasn’t displayed. With Traktion, I didn’t have this problem, but the minihost (a sample from the SDK) also didn’t use the UI size.
When developing pyvst, I has to implement the retrieval of the size of the plugin, and I’ve decided to add this to QtAGain. I was surprised to see that it actually work with just giving back the UI size (so fixing this was less than 5 lines).
So now, I know that to impelment an UI for a VST plugin, I have to implement:
Don’t make the same mistake as I did, do implement all three of them, even if your favorite VST host can live without getRect().
P.S.: Mixing Qt for VST UIs and wxPython for pyvst works really fine!
