I want to build some vst that will use about 1000% of my 3ghz processor!

I'm wondering what my options are.

Is it possible to load such a massive vst in my daw, and render a wav, without locking it up? Is the offline component in SM what I need?

If you have enough CPU for a DAW + VST, yea, I'd do that.

I'm trying to figure out how to build a massively high cpu vst in SM without the code running through the cpu as I build the code.

I expected that I would just remove the asio I/O modules to stop the realtime processing but when I do that I lose the 'build VST' icon.

Am I missing something or am I actually limited to building VSTs that will run in realtime?

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, I a bit of a newbie.

Mark,

I just leave the ASIO out module in the schematic but deselect the ASIO driver so that processing stops.

Also, make sure the ASIO i/o modules are external to your plugin module. Your plugin should just have the mono in/out connectors.
