MiniVST is a minimalistic Windows-only VST2 Host.

It uses the Steinberg VST SDK and Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) to achieve minimum-latency real-time sound effects. Many different plugins are supported.

Features

• User Interface showing the plugins' editor
• Real-time audio transformation
• Hotkey to enable and disable the effect
• Plugin settings are saved automatically
• Simple config file to change settings
• Single executable for ease of use

Usage

MiniVST needs to be configured through MiniVST.cfg before first launch. The attached config file includes examples and descriptions for all options. To ensure successful operation you have to adjust the following settings:

1. input_device and output_device need to correspond to your desired audio devices.
2. plugin_path must point to the DLL file of the VST effect.
3. hotkey has to be set to enable/disable the sound processing.

Building

• Copy neccessary files into include folder
• Open the project with Visual Studio 2017
• Build application in Debug or Release mode
• Note: Currently only x86 configurations are supported
