The I IAudioProcessor::process method will continue to be called. The implementation of the bypass feature is entirely the responsibility of the plug-in: When the user activates the plug-in bypass in the host, like all parameter changes, this is sent as part of the parameter data passed to the IAudioProcessor::process method. In order to implement audio process bypassing, the plug-in can export a parameter which is additionally and exclusively flagged as having the attribute kIsBypass. Processing Q: How does Audio Processing Bypass work? This is very important that the host supports this flush mechanism else by saving plug-ins state (project/preset) the host will not get the correct updated one.

When a parameter is changed in the plug-in UI by user action, the plug sends this change to the host with performEdit (do not forget to call beginEdit and endEdit), then the host has the responsibility to transfer this parameter change to the processor part: => if the audio engine is running (playing) this will be done in the next available process call => if the audio engine is not running, the host has to flush parameter changes from time to time by sending them to processor by calling process (with audio buffer set to null), in this case the plug-in should only update the parameters changes without processing any audio. Q: How my parameter changes (from UI interaction) are send to the processor if the host does not process? If the mapping has changed, the plug-in should call IComponentHandler::restartComponent (kMidiCCAssignmentChanged) to inform the host about this change. To inform the host about this MIDI CCs to plug-in parameters mapping, the plug-in should implement the IMidiMapping interface. This allows the host to automate them in the same way as other parameters. The host will transform incoming MIDI controller data using this interface and transmit them as normal parameter change. So any functionality that is to be controlled by MIDI controllers must be exported as regular parameter. On top of this they can interfere with regular parameter automation and the host is unaware of what happens in the plug-in when passing MIDI controllers directly. Controller data in particular come along with unclear and often ignored semantics. MIDI as hardware protocol has restrictions that can be avoided in software. MIDI controllers are not transmitted directly to a VST component. Q: How receive MIDI Controllers from the host? With the flag kParamValuesChanged only the parameters values will be updated. See Q: How should I communicate between the 'Processing' and the 'User Interface'? Q: How does the host send automation data to my VST 3 plug-in?Īutomation data is sent to the audio processing method as part of the data passed as a parameter to the IAudioProcessor::process (processData) method. Q: I want to implement an audio meter in my user interface. See Communication between the components. However, you need to be careful and send the data from a 'timer' thread and not directly from the process function, for example, when sending from a 'process' call. If you should need to exchange more data than just parameter changes, such as tempo, sample rate, FFT, Pitch Analysis, or any other data resulting from your processing, you can use the IMessage interface (see AGain example). You add the parameter (ID) to a list that will be used by the host to send them back to the user interface at the correct time. In the process function you can inform the host of changes by using the outputParameterChanges (from ProcessData). The parameter then is associated with an ID. If you need to communicate the changes of parameters to the user interface, such as metering changes and peaks, you need to define the parameter as an exported type.
#Steinberg wavelab 6.0 code
With the term 'Processing' we mean the code implementing the Steinberg::Vst::IAudioProcessor interface, and with 'User Interface' the editor component implementing the Steinberg::Vst::IEditController interface. Q: How should I communicate between the 'Processing' and the 'User Interface'?
