About VST MediaAddOn:
An implementation of Steinbergs VST PlugIn Interface Technology for
the BeOS Media Kit.
The VST MediaAddOn is my attempt to integrate the widely accepted
VST plugin standard with the BeOS Media Kit. It comes in form of a
Media Server Add-On which can load installed VST plugins as separate
media nodes, providing kind of a 'micro-host' for each. This implies
that every plugin runs in its own thread and can be connected to any
other audio producing/consuming node on your system (like the audio
input, a file player, a software synthesizer etc.).
This Media Add-On isn't actually an application itself, it enables
any application that supports the BeOS Media Kit to 'host' VST
plugins without actually knowing the VST specification.
To make any use of the VST MediaAddOn you'll need VST plugins (see
the PlugIns List) compiled for BeOS as well as an application that
enables you to instantiate and connect media-nodes (like Cortex).
