Download Vst 3 Sdk
Note 2020/01
This project was created in 2018 using the VST3 SDK 3.6.9 which includes VST2. More recent versions of the SDK have removed VST2 support. Although this project is still valid as long as you use 3.6.9, you should check Jamba which offers a very easy way to bootstrap a blank self contained plugin which depends on the SDK. Jamba also offers a lot of additional features.
Thx for your quick answer. Well, in the developer download section are 3 downloads: VST SDK 3.5.1, VST SDK 2.4 and VST Module SDK. The VST 2.4 & Module SDK are both pretty old. I had the same idea as you. If i implement it as a VST3 plugin (inherited from AudioEffect class or Component Class) the plugin doesn't appear as a MIDI plugin.

Why this project?
- KVR Audio News: Steinberg Media Technologies has finally announced the release of the VST3 SDK (Software Development Kit), the latest generation of its VST platform. VST3 offers new capabilities to developers of host applications, audio plug-ins and virtual instruments. 'VST3 opens up new possibilities for products and technologies in the audio industry,' comments Andreas Stelling, Steinberg's.
- Jan 04, 2020 The latest VST3 SDK (3.6.9) provides instructions to build a VST that doesn't live inside the SDK itself which is a big enhancement from prior versions which did not provide this capability. That being said, the solution introduced is still backward in my mind: you need to tell the SDK where your plugin is. The name of the project is still vstsdk.
- VST Audio Plug-ins SDK (C) by Steinberg is a Virtual Instrument and a Virtual Effect Audio Plugin and an Audio Plugin Host and a Mobile Audio App and a Standalone Application. It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin, a VST 3 Plugin, an AAX Plugin and a Standalone Application. It can host VST 3 Plugins.

- The SDK update includes a preview version for Linux as well as a new license model, which allows developers to create open-source VST 3 plug-ins and distribute them with VST 3 source files. CMake has been implemented to control the compilation process and the VST 3 SDK is now also available through GitHub. Download SDK. Download SDK at Github.

.
In addition, the VST3 SDK 3.6.9 introduced a couple of issues which makes it impossible to build it without using Xcode.
This project is exactly the again
example that ships part of the VST3 SDK but self contained and depending on the SDK (vs being part of the SDK). As a result it can be used as a starting point to build other plugins.
What this project is not
This project is not a tutorial on how to write a VST3 plugin. It only deals with building a plugin outside the SDK.
Configuration and requirements
This project is known to work on macOS High Siera 10.13.3 with Xcode 9.2 installed. It requires cmake
version 3.9 at the minimum. Because it uses cmake
it should work on other platforms but it has not been tested.
Downloading the SDK
You need to download the VST3 SDK version 3.6.9 (3.6.9 as of 2018/03/01 and what is used in this project) (shasum 256 => 7c6c2a5f0bcbf8a7a0d6a42b782f0d3c00ec8eafa4226bbf2f5554e8cd764964
).

Installing the SDK
Unpack the SDK to a location of your choice (in my case the SDK is unpacked and renamed /Applications/VST_SDK.369/
).

Configuring the SDK
In order to build both VST2 and VST3 at the same time, you need to run the following commands
Building this project
Create a folder outside the source tree and
cd
to it:Generate the Makefile(s):
VST3_SDK_ROOT
needs to point to the root of the VST3 SDK (as installed/configured previously) and provide the path to the source of this project (which containsCMakeLists.txt
): Cooking mama pc download gratis.Now build the plugin (all its dependencies will be built as well):
Testing that it is a valid VST3 plugin (already run part of the build, but can be run separately):
Testing that it is a valid VST2 plugin (with MrsWatson):
Deploying the plugin and testing in a real DAW
-- For VST2 (like Maschine and Reason) you copy and rename it:
-- For VST3:
Because this project uses cmake
you can also generate an Xcode project by using the proper generator (-G Xcode
). You can also load the project directly in CLion.
Licensing

sample code provided with the VST3 SDK, the licensing is the same as the VST3 SDK: GPL version 3
