dssi-vst 0.3 released!
======================
The 0.3 release of dssi-vst is now available.
dssi-vst is a DSSI plugin wrapper for VST effects and instruments
with GUI support, allowing them to be loaded into any DSSI host.
It requires a fairly recent version of Wine (this calendar year at least).
dssi-vst is available from the download page at
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
The main improvement since the initial 0.1 release is that dssi-vst
now works correctly with plugins with complex GUIs …
[View More]that use
back-channel information to communicate things like patch data to
the audio plugin. In practical terms, this means that VSTs with
test keyboard widgets, patch load and save, and other natty features
in their GUIs should work properly as DSSI plugins without losing
automatability for the true automatable parameters.

DSSI v0.9 released
==================
I'm happy to announce version 0.9 of the DSSI plugin API.
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
DSSI is an audio plugin API designed for software instruments with
custom user interfaces.
DSSI is based on the LADSPA effects plugin API, the ALSA sequencer
event types, and OSC (Open Sound Control) communications. It's
intended to be easily understood, GUI-toolkit-agnostic, and slightly
biased towards familiarity with MIDI. The DSSI distribution package
…
[View More]contains a JACK/ALSA-sequencer reference host and some plugins as well
as the specification and header. DSSI 0.9 was constructed by Steve
Harris, Chris Cannam, and Sean Bolton.
New in 0.9
----------
The main improvements in 0.9 are to the reference host implementation
and sample plugins.
The 0.9 API itself is binary compatible with the previous 0.4 release.
A new convention for plugin-global (rather than instance-local)
configuration data and a convention for setting a plugin's project
working directory have been introduced, and 0.9 clarifies certain
implementation points in the documentation.
Available hosts and plugins
---------------------------
Two hosts are currently known to include complete or nearly-complete
DSSI support: the reference jack-dssi-host included in the DSSI 0.9
distribution, and versions 0.9.9 and later of the Rosegarden-4
sequencer.
Currently available plugins include:
* a FluidSynth soundfont plugin included in the DSSI distribution
* Xsynth-DSSI, an analog-style (VCAs-VCF-VCO) plugin
* dssi-vst, a wrapper plugin enabling the use of many Windows VST
instruments and effects
* hexter, a Yamaha DX7 modeling plugin
* three smaller example plugins (two synths and a sampler) that are
also part of the DSSI distribution.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
