I'd like to add my voice to the chorus of people who need native VST plugin support. I tried Christian Budde's VST to Winamp converter and although the converted plugin loads (after prefixing its name with dsp_) it fails at finding the .ini file needed by the original VST plugin which has the same name as the plugin and resides in the same directory.
The specific VST plugin I want to use is reajs.dll, a plugin that lets you implement VST plugins using a language that is a simple derivative of C in a really convenient framework without messing with compilers and development systems. It was part of Reactor but they released it stand alone and I've made a couple of VST plugins with it that work well in Adobe Audition. It uses a file, reajs.ini, to parameterize itself but after Christian's converter that can no longer be found or read. I tried naming it dsp_reajs.ini but that doesn't work either.
A link to the Reactor system is:
http://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ There are others like SynthMaker and Synthedit but while more powerful, especially creating GUI's, they are extremely complicated in comparison.
My main desire with MusicBee is to deliver demo's of my plugins for evaluation by others not very sophisticated at audio processing. I can't find a nice player app that can use VST plugins without wrappers that mess up reading .ini files.
I really, really like the design of MusicBee and would love to use it but the lack of VST inhibits me.
Many Thanks
