WIN32 : Minimal VST 2.x host in C++11.
Raw
minimal_vst2x_host.cpp
// Win32 : Minimal VST 2.x Synth host in C++11.
//
// This is a simplified version of the following project by hotwatermorning :
// A sample VST Host Application for C++ Advent Calendar 2013 5th day.
// https://github.com/hotwatermorning/VstHostDemo
//
// Usage :
// 1. Compile & Run this program.
// 2. Select your VST Synth DLL.
// 3. Press QWERTY, ZXCV, etc.
// 4. Press Ctrl-C to exit.
//

Thanks for your quick reply T-Mat,

I've tried it and it works. You are right, I use codeblocks with g++(mingw).

I just had to go to:

Project -> Build options -> Linker settings ->...and browse for the file libcomdlg32.a to add it.

And it works! Thank you very much!

BTW: Woul it be complicated to modify for using it with VST plugins? (not just VSTi)

Basically, it won't need much effort. You should implement the following functionalities:

  • (A) MIDI event routing, if you want to use MIDI event generators such as arpeggiator.
    • In VstPlugin::processEvents(), send event to other VstPlugin. You can use VstPlugin::sendMidiNote() to send the MIDI note event.
  • (B) Audio signal routing, if you want to use effectors such as reverb.
    • In VstPlugin::processAudio(), send audio to other VstPlugin. You need to implement an analogue of sendMidiNote() for audio. The new method writes audio to inputBuffer. Note that processAudio() already sends inputBuffer to VST. But it's always filled with 0 so far.

To keep the code simple, I highly recommend to think about and implement serial and fixed (not flexible) network. For example,

MIDI:
Input (Keyboard) --(sendMidiNote())--> Arpeggiator --(A)--> VSTi

Audio:
VSTi --(B)--> Reverb --(refillCallback())--> Output (WASAPI)

If your network is serial, refillCallback() just needs to know the last VST plugin which process the audio.

I will keep your recommendations in mind.
I am just beginning to try to host VST plugins in my audio C++ program (I use portaudio and ASIO drivers)...
Thanks T-Mat, you are very helpful!

@Israel-7

Very nice VST host!
I'm trying to implement this in my C++ program, but I can't open two or more VSTs at the same time. The for loop with "PeekMessage" is necessary for the plugin window to work, so I only get one at a time.
Any solution?

@Israel-7, since I don't know anything about your program, I recommend you to play with this code before (re-) implement your own.

I can say that this example is able to extend to support multiple VSTs with the following modification:

/**/ indicates modified or added line.

(1) main() : Add second VST

int main() {
    ComInit comInit {};

/**/const auto dllFilename0 = []() -> std::wstring {
        wchar_t fn[MAX_PATH+1] {};
        OPENFILENAME ofn { sizeof(ofn) };
        ofn.lpstrFilter = L"VSTi DLL(*.dll)\0*.dll\0All Files(*.*)\0*.*\0\0";
        ofn.lpstrFile   = fn;
        ofn.nMaxFile    = _countof(fn);
        ofn.lpstrTitle  = L"Select VST DLL (#0)";
        ofn.Flags       = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_ENABLESIZING;
        GetOpenFileName(&ofn);
        return fn;
    } ();

/**/const auto dllFilename1 = []() -> std::wstring {
/**/    wchar_t fn[MAX_PATH+1] {};
/**/    OPENFILENAME ofn { sizeof(ofn) };
/**/    ofn.lpstrFilter = L"VSTi DLL(*.dll)\0*.dll\0All Files(*.*)\0*.*\0\0";
/**/    ofn.lpstrFile   = fn;
/**/    ofn.nMaxFile    = _countof(fn);
/**/    ofn.lpstrTitle  = L"Select VST DLL (#1)";
/**/    ofn.Flags       = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_ENABLESIZING;
/**/    GetOpenFileName(&ofn);
/**/    return fn;
/**/} ();

    try {
/**/    mainLoop(dllFilename0, dllFilename1);
    } catch(std::exception &e) {
        std::cout << "Exception : " << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
}

(2) mainLoop() : Add second VST

/**/
void mainLoop(const std::wstring& dllFilename0, const std::wstring& dllFilename1) {
/**/ VstPlugin vstPlugin0 { dllFilename0.c_str(), GetConsoleWindow() };

/**/     return refillCallback(vstPlugin0, data, availableFrameCount, mixFormat, true);
     }};

    ...

    for(bool run = true; run; WaitMessage()) {
        MSG msg {};
        ...

        for(auto& e : keyMap) {
            auto& key = e.second;
            const auto on = (GetKeyState(e.first) & 0x8000) != 0;
            if(key.status != on) {
                key.status = on;
/**/            vstPlugin0.sendMidiNote(0, key.midiNote, on, 100);
/**/            vstPlugin1.sendMidiNote(0, key.midiNote, on, 100);
            }
        }
    }
}

(3) refillCallback() : Add additive mode

/**/

    ...
    while(availableFrameCount > 0) {

            for(size_t iChannel = 0; iChannel < nDstChannels; ++iChannel) {
               ...
/**/            if(additive) {
/**/                *(data + ofs + wasapiWriteIndex) += vstOutput[vstOutputPage][vstOutputIndex];
/**/            } else {
/**/                *(data + ofs + wasapiWriteIndex) = vstOutput[vstOutputPage][vstOutputIndex];
/**/            }
               ...

        }
        ...
