for me. All of the plugins I'm working on basically use VST as the
primary "platform-neutral" interface to the plugin. We have these
plugins running in VST (Mac/Win), MAS (Mac), DX (Win), and TDM (Mac).
All of the non-VST versions actually talk to the VST API and
translate appropriately. It works fine. I want it to work fine in
AU too. It already does work fine using the custom editor which is
what people will use 95% of the time. I just want it to work fine in
the generic editor as well.
If it were up to me, I would say don't use VST as the "neutral" interface,
or use it with some supplementation (your own hooks or data or whatever to
provide some additional necessary info). VST is definitely not a neutral
platform. It's the dumbest and most deficient of all of the interfaces,
so as a result, you're starving the rest of them.
Well, I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree here.
Our current method works perfectly well for all the other platforms
we currently support (but thanks for explaining how dumb it is :-),
and it's just not going to happen that we're going to do any major
redesigning right now just to work with AU. We're already most of
the way there, in fact the main issue currently is just this generic
UI stuff. I don't understand why adding the things I suggested seems
like such a bad thing. It only helps improve the AU functionality
for generic params as far as I can tell.
