Can I build these VST effects with Flowstone ?

[magicaldog]

I am interested in building a VST audio effect for CUBASE that have 8 independent modulated delays !

I am also interested in building a VST MIDI plugin for Cubase that generates up to 4 midi output notes for each input note !

Is this possible with Flowstone

Welcome magicaldog

Yes these are both possible with Flowstone.

WOW that sounds fantastic !

Just downloaded the Demo

I am struggling to build a simple vst effect to use in Cubase to see how it works but cant seem to find the "Audio in" & "Audio out"components shown in these vids:

Those are specific to the FL Studio version of Flowstone.

The FL version is exactly the same except for differences like "audio in" , "audio out" these component pass the audio to FL Studio,

In standard Flowstone we pass the audio directly to the sound card using either "Asio out" or "Direct sound out".

They are used for listening to your synth effect within Flowstone. They do not exist in the VST.

To create an effect in Flowstone add a module, (hit "M" on your keyboard) now give this two inputs and two outputs. now you can right click the connectors and change them to mono (blue with dot in middle)

Connect inputs to the outputs, now you have an effect that does nothing! To export it right click the module and in the menu is an option to "create VST/VSTI..."

So the important bit is that your effect goes within a module, this module must have two mono inputs and outputs (can be more but not all hosts will 'see' them) now that module can be exported to VST.


Also a Midi plugin would just be a module with one Midi input and one output, a Synth is a module with a Midi input and two mono outputs,

Cant find any of the audio effects used in these videos ?

Yes these come with FL Studio. You get them via the Image line content downloader.

If you own FL Studio you can download all their Flowstone content and it all works with the standard Flowstone version.

Or you are possibly referring to the default stuff for Flowstone (cannot check the video right now).

If so there is a "Module" section at top of Forum. Download the audio and DSP pack. I forgot these don't come in the main application anymore.

I downloaded the Audio and DSP pack and now I can see the effects.

I managed to build a reverb and a delay and it was pretty easy once I found the components. I haven't figured out how to make an actual VST plugin to put in the Cubase VST folder yet though.

It's really great that it works in real time by connecting directly to the audio card, -Really Loving that

I guess that building the 8 independent modulated delays with stereo output that I am interested in probably is a bit more complicated and I wonder if it is possible with the given components available in Flowstone ?

Same goes for the MIDI plugin for Cubase that generates up to 4 midi output notes for each input note !
