Load vsts in flowstone?

[opelcircuit]

Hello

I'm really interested in Flowstone

I was thinking of using it as modular fx container
but I'm not sure if its possible

What I want is to use flowstone as a vst inside my DAW and host plugins inside it, so I can load vst and vsti plugins inside flow stone and connect between them in parallel and so on.

possible?

Hello and welcome!

Unfortunately FlowStone can’t host plugins. What you can do is make multiple effects inside a VST plugin and make it so the user can set the routing, but you’ll be limited to the effects you make in FlowStone.

Hmm.. maybe plug-in chainer/rack is what you are looking - KVR database may help to find one which suites for your needs - https://www.kvraudio.com/plugins/hosts/ ... ree/newest

why not implementing it ?

Agree with juha_tp (nice freebie links BTW, another interesting one (no longer supported) is VSTForx) that OP was hoping FS could be used as a OOP-style chainer like AudioMulch, Metaplugin, or LiveProfessor, something like that.

The whole purpose of FlowStone is to make VST plugins rather than being something like a DAW or hosting environment.
So I don't think it will ever happen!

Just as a funny note, back in the days of Synthmaker (the original product that later became Flowstone) there was a hidden set of primitives that could be 'activated' by messing around with the contents of a project file (using an Hex editor). One of those primitives was a plugin host. I remember having found it, but I can't remember if or how it worked... Maybe it's still in there...

Hey Tzarls..nice to see you floatimg around
Usine is good for loading VST..nowadays it's called Hollyhock https://www.brainmodular.com/

I need only to take a image snapshot of vst from vst directory and save it in schematic for my vst-manager! Is this somehow possible to add to ALPHA? Far less difficult than complete hosting.
