1. Plugin Wrapper

What is it?

VST plugins WITH native rescaling- Select Wrapper processing Make bridgedand Wrapper settings DPI aware when bridged NOTES:See General Settings Rescaling optionsfor more information on GUI rescaling. You have probably already set Windows scaling to work on your high resolution monitor, and so the plugin will be scaled appropriately. When you start plugin.exe, the VST-synth is wrapped and loaded automatically. The output of a plugin can be recorded to a wav-file in high quality. NanoHost can create random patches. It offers a soft-clipping algorithm with low distortion and tube-sound. Scrollbars allow you to work also with plugins larger than your screen resolution.

Metaplugin is a plugin that loads other plugins. As simple as that. Build your own effect networks with this plugin wrapper using any VST/VST3 (and AU, if you’re on Mac) effect you already have on your harddisk. To get you started, a Mid-Side matrix, a fourband crossover filter and a routing plugin are included in the package. This means instant cross-track routing, mid-side, multiband compression/distortion/reverb/… you name it. Of course that’s only the beginning… let your imagination run free, nothing is impossible, from creating your own layered synth sounds to building whole sound generators from scratch using simple modules.

Another favourite use case for Metaplugin is to load VST plugins in Pro Tools (or to load AudioUnits in Pro Tools if you’re on a Mac). Hence, you can use it as a VST to AAX wrapper or an AU to AAX wrapper. Vst plugins for garageband free. While we’re at it: you can also use Metaplugin to load VST plugins in Logic/LogicX (VST to AU wrapper), or AU plugins in Cubase (AU to VST wrapper).

• Effect version supports up to eight individual channels for, e.g. surround or other multichannel purposes.
• Instrument version featuring 16 stereo output buses for all conceivable routing purposes using multichannel instruments
• Double precision audio processing when supported by DAW and plugin format (not for Audio Units)
• Additional stereo sidechain input
• Convenient plugin organizer: scan your plugins once, then just drag and drop them onto the graph area
• Internal bridge from 32 to 64 bit, with seamless plugin window integration: load 32 bit plugins in ProTools or LogicPro X without the need for a 3rd party bridging solution
• NEW since v3.4: internal bridge from 64 bit to 32 bit too!
• Support for native Apple Audio Unit plugins
• Dry/wet ratio can be adjusted for each loaded plugin.
• Individual bypass for each loaded plugin
• Full plugin delay compensation included.
• Automate up to 100 parameters by mapping them on any parameter of a loaded plugin
• Negligible additional CPU overhead.
• Synths can also be loaded and played with any MIDI control, which means you can create custom synthesizers with existing building blocks.
• Up to 8x oversampling option of the whole signal chain is available.
• Included: mid-side matrix, multiband splitter and cross track send/receive helper plugins.
• Define your own colour palette for the plugin: check!
• Freely resizable plugin window for maximum convenience: check!
• Can be used as a VST (2 or 3) to AU wrapper, a VST (2 or 3) to AAX wrapper or an AU to AAX wrapper.

Honestly, we can’t think of any reason not to own this baby! Available for Windows (32/64 bit VST/VST3 and AAX) and Mac OSX (32/64 bit VST/VST3/AU/AAX, 10.7 or higher needed). As always, we strongly recommend to check out the demo version (settings not saved, but further fully functional) to see whether it fits your needs!

Testimonials

YES! YES! YES! Have been waiting years for a FX chainer with PDC and finally it’s here! Also the modular design just puts other FX chainers to bed! You can pratically process (multi/paralell) anything in anyway with this thing now properly with PDC! THANKS DDMF!

So now I can use any of the compressors I have as a multiband for mastering and on drums? That’s freaking awesome. Gotta try it out tonight.

Plugin Wrapper

FL is highly unpredictable when it comes to blocksize handling. All our plugins highly depend on a static blocksize due to the high amount of complexity of the calculations.
We encountered a similar issue lately and found the following workaround in FL12:
frei:raum ist actually also VST3 – it’s simply not copied to the respective folder
– pick the VST freiraum.dll (probably from C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins) and MOVE it to C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3
– rename it to freiraum.vst3
– open FL and load an instance of frei:raum – the user interface will open (please do NOT start playback)
– click the ‘Settings’ icon in the top-left corner
– switch to the ‘Processing’ tab
– tick the “Used fixed size buffer” checkbox
– audio should start to flow now
Please also make sure that the overall buffersize is at least 1024 samples!
Further, there’s also a fix from Image-Line taken from their their forum:

1. Open FL Studio.
2. Refer to the ‘Plugin Database > Effects’ folder of your FL Studio Browser.
3. Locate and delete any freiraum entries saved in this location by right-clicking the entry and selecting ‘Delete file…’. If you don’t have a favorite entry for freiraum you can proceed.
4. Download, extract, and launch the attached freiraum.reg file. (http://downloads01.sonible.com/download.php?file=misc/freiraum-FL12-fix.zip)
5. Accept any prompts regarding applying the registry key and values.
6. Restart FL Studio once the keys and values are applied.
7. Navigate to ‘Plugin Database > Installed > Effects > VST’ and load the freiraum plugin entry from this location. Test the plugin.
For those concerned about what the registry file does, it adds a key for ‘freiraum’ under ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREImage-LineSharedPluginsFruity WrapperPluginsVST’ with some predefined Wrapper Settings for the plugin, in particular ‘Use fixed size buffers’ is enabled.
