Exported VSTs

Tom7777 · 30 Sept 2005

Im just curious do you mind if people edit the exported VSTs information and change it to there own info or is this a definate no go type thing?

Shifrin · 30 Sept 2005

I'm sure I've asked malc about this, there are a bunch of functions in a VST that return the 'vendor' and various product information that I asked to be able to supply answers for 😉

And I'd guess that assuming it's possible to do you'll be able to edit the .dll information too!

Shif.

malc · 30 Sept 2005

Yeah, we can just put a couple of extra fields in the VST dialog to allow you to set this information. Not a problem.

Tom7777 · 30 Sept 2005

Cool thanks Malc, i figured i might as well say about this becuase having extra options is much better than people modifying the files in my opinion, also makes the exported product a bit more pro 🙂

Nu Audio Science · 30 Sept 2005

Yup 😉

Tom7777 · 7 Oct 2005

Will this be added in one of the next few releases? Or will we have to wait a while for this one? thanks

malc · 7 Oct 2005

I'll add it sooner rather than later 🙂

Tom7777 · 7 Oct 2005

Cool thanks Malc 🙂

Malc i just tried this new feature but the exported file seems to be the same as it was before and is not effected in any way. The product Name remains as Synthmaker and the version 1.0.0.1 and not the default value 1, also when the files in the folder the text VST Export DLL still remains. thanks

malc · 13 Oct 2005

Oh. Sorry about that Dan, I'll need to look at that.

Tom7777 · 13 Oct 2005

Ok thanks Malc 🙂

malc · 13 Oct 2005

Ok I see what you mean now. You're talking about the file information when you look at the properties in Windows?

I hadn't realised that there was information tucked away there. I thought your original request was in relation to the VST data that is displayed by some hosts.

I'll look into getting the file info sorted as well then.

Tom7777 · 13 Oct 2005

Yeah i mean the file information but the VST data was need also so thanks for doing that also 🙂

Bump

Tom7777 · 1 Nov 2005

Any chance of this happening sometime soon?

malc · 1 Nov 2005

This sort of information is optional. Is it the case that you want it to be set to particular values or do you just want the SM references removed. I can make it so no information shows quite easily.

Tom7777 · 2 Nov 2005

I can make it so no information shows quite easily.

I think that this would be the best thing to do although it would be nice to be able to set the product name and version also, thanks

Bump

Tom7777 · 16 Nov 2005

Sorry about bumping this all the time, it's just that Synthedit doesn't have Synthedit ect on the exported files that it make, i would like to put my company name on my plugins as i think it makes the finished project seem more pro, theres a lot of users of synths that will not use a synth once they know its been built by a modular program for some reason, which is also another reason why i would want this, from your previous posts it did seem like this would happen but i tested it in the new version and it would seem its not been added, i don't know if you forgot about it, so just a friendly bump as i have sort of been waiting a while just for this. thanks

malc · 16 Nov 2005

No problem with the bumps. This will be sorted for the next release.

Tom7777 · 16 Nov 2005

Thanks Malc 🙂

Tom7777 · 16 Nov 2005

Will the next release be a long wait?

malc · 18 Nov 2005

Sorry Dan, missed your question here.

Short answer....no 🙂

Tom7777 · 18 Nov 2005

Cool, thanks Malc 🙂

djaram · 19 Nov 2005

It would be also good if we could change the description of the file as well.(The one you see at properties or in the third line of file when you view the window as 'Tiles' ).

For now it says 'VST Export DLL' . (For synthedit files it says 'VST Plugin' )

Tom7777 · 19 Nov 2005

Yes i agree with djaram, VST Export DLL doesn't seem very pro, VST plugin would be better but again i think it would be best to be able to set it as whatever you want. Being able to set the synth name for this type of thing would give a much more pro end result, i know you have recently made SM into a trial version software which i think is great but maybe this could be a extra feature for registered users and just leave it as VST Export DLL for people using the trial.
