VST3

[mschnell1]

HI ampli-Fe Community !
Many thanks for providing this code !

I intend to do a plugin dedicated for Reaper in Rust.
When researching I found ampli-Fe which seems promising as a starting point.
So I did compile and test ampli-Fe in Reaper and it works perfectly as expected.

I am concerned about it being done using VST2 because of two reasons:

• VST2 is depreciated by Steinberg, and you are not allowed to distribute your work (eithetr5 as open source nor closed) which is based on VST2 unless you already own a (at that time free) VST2 SDK license. But since quite some time, VST2 SDK licenses are not provided by Steinberg any more. That is why any new VST work needs to use the VST3 API.
• VST3 provides obvious advantages. Regarding the GUI (seems like the main purpose of ampli-Fe) this is scalability. With VST3 the Window size of the plugin can adapt to the window size the user manages by managing the Window the DAW provides for the plugin.

Any chance for using VST3 for ampli-Fe ?
Thanks a lot,
-Michael
