Hi all. Don't know if this is relevant to PARIS, but since I didn't see this come up, Xlutop (the same folks who make the Xlutop Chainer) apparently also released a VST to DX wrapper as freeware a couple of years back that I didn't see mentioned here. Here's what they say about it:

Quote:
There are basically three vst plugins, dxshell.dll, dxishell.dll and mfxshell.dll, these vsts are non-standard vsts, they are so-called shell vsts like the vsts known from Waves. Unfortunately this means that only a few hosts are able to use these wrappers directly. Some hosts that are supporting shell vsts directly:

Cubase SX,
Tracktion,
Reaper,
Temper,
Renoise,
Buzz,
Aodix,
Vsthost

If you want to use them in other hosts you firstly have to convert them to "standard" vsts with a tool called shell2vst which is also bundled with this zipfile.

Some infos about these wrappers:

- vst 2.4 compatibility
- therefore support for 32bit and 64bit processing
- able to run dx plugins in 64bit processing mode if the plugin supports it
- fully automatable parameters
- multi-in/out plugins supported
- the mfx wrapper is quite experimental right now, some mfx plugins will work but others not

I'll be giving them a try in PARIS myself ASAP and posting results. If anyone else does (or has) feel free to use this thread to compare notes on how it stacks up for use in PARIS.
