    I there...
    I was wondering... does anybody here ever tried, or did code his/her own vst/vsti?

    The thing is, I want to make some sort of filter, and I'm kind of learning how the vst framework works...
    I've read that FAUST is very useful for writting VSTs, and also there's a .NET version...

    So, if anybody did his/her own vst, in what did you code that? I mean, ASM (L), plain old C, C++, used some of this new things like .NET versions, FAUST, CSound, etc...

    Give synthmaker or synthedit a try

    You can recode it in C++ and assembler code later if you want

    That's is what they did with Sylenth1

    There a PDF on audioz called

    Synthedit: Visual VST/i Programming

    It's good reading if you want to try synthedit

    Just search for Visual VSTi Programming

    @ArticStorm: yeah, I may try it... It's just that I, generally, try to start everything from scratch... But maybe this time, because I want to make something now, I'll use it. Thanks :wink:

    @joint: I want to make some sort of formant filter and use it for vowel basses... (I know, there are plenty of formant filters, a lot of bitcrushers and stuff, but I wanna try to make one myself)

    @Horsemen: OMG, Sylenth1 was made on synthedit/synthmaker? Thanks, I didn't knew about that book. I will read it. Hope you save my day :thumbsup:

    Thank you all.
    If I can make something good I'll post it if anyone want to give it a try

    Again, thank you all...
    Have a nice day
