I'd like SM to detect if a VST is inserted in a mono channel or stereo channel.
Passing the information to the schematic, we could arrange the proper changes to make our creation work both ways without rendering 2 different .DLLs .... 😉

+1 Even better would be an integer readout of number of channels - to allow for using quad or 5.1 surround channels.

yes, I was thinking also to an extension. Some years ago I experimented on a Virtual Mixer project and creating multiple channels in SM: sadly I realised there's no valid multichannel management. Multiple input and outputs are ignored, as far as I know... 🙁

Yes, I've asked for multiple exe in's and out's a couple of times now - my Soopa Loopa project would work great as a standalone application, and I need to have multiple instruments connected at once for live use. I'd also like a second stereo out for a pair of headphones, for monitoring a seperate signal from the main PA output. The extra CPU overhead and file management hassle of needing a host are a real pain when trying to run a live session on a laptop. Even being able to record my drum pads in stereo would be nice! Even though bodging it with surround channels does work - It will put off end users who either lack the software or the experience to manage the work-arounds; which would be a shame, coz I've spent a lot of time making the project work like a nice old fashioned piece of 'switch on and go' hardware (MegaHurtz compared it to the MPC5000 - though I don't think Akai should worry themselves just yet!)

Hmm...
I'm using 16 ins and 14 outs simultaneously since >3 Years now in my exes and VSTs
or am i missing something here?

I think it's being able to tell how many of them are in use by the host. (At least in the original request... I haven't parsed through Trog's post.)

Yes exactly (anyway I never correctly managed multiple ins or outs , I wonder how SunSynth did...) 😕

Sorry - don't ever let me pin you in the corner of a bar after a few beers - I REALLY go on and on then! 😉
My soundcard lots in/out - exe mono in/stereo out always - sunsynth knows magic?

Hmm...
w/o seeing your schematic - shall mean your ASIO ins and outs focused so i can see them with their real names - i cannot give the right hints...
mostly the wrong host or if its a standlaone - it's a bad ASIO driver = no multiclient one...
If u have a pro Audio card then it's mostly multiclient capable... My motu even has a DirectX driver so i can choose any stereo pair in any application and have them all playing together into SM/EXE or a host like EnergyXT, Bidule or Audiomulch etc. with ur VST - but often u get ASIO out plugs 4 ur apps... Maybe an ASIO Server can help u... or a Virtual-Audio-Cable driver...?
Troggie please list ur Hardware and progs u use... or a pic how u connect them etc.

@sunsynth Ah thanks - it starts to make sense. I'm using the Yamaha mLAN protocol via Firewire, the ASIO is not multiclient - and no selection of individual pairs, just all at once - it's always been a flaky driver and Yamaha not doing updates any more. Can use all the i/o in hosts (Cubase, VSTHost), and within SM, but not for the exe's. Server's etc. not such a good solution for me because I want easy transfer between different systems and different users.
