Detailed Description

Component base interface: Vst::IComponent.

• [plug imp]
• [released: 3.0.0]
• [mandatory]

This is the basic interface for a VST component and must always be supported. It contains the common parts of any kind of processing class. The parts that are specific to a media type are defined in a separate interface. An implementation component must provide both the specific interface and IComponent.

Member Function Documentation

virtual tresult getControllerClassId ( TUID  classId )

pure virtual

Called before initializing the component to get information about the controller class.

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual tresult setIoMode ( IoMode  mode )

pure virtual

Called before 'initialize' to set the component usage (optional).

See IoModes

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual int32 getBusCount ( MediaType  type, BusDirection  dir  )

pure virtual

Called after the plug-in is initialized.

See MediaTypes, BusDirections

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual tresult getBusInfo ( MediaType  type, BusDirection  dir, int32  index, BusInfo &  bus  )

pure virtual

Called after the plug-in is initialized.

See MediaTypes, BusDirections

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual tresult getRoutingInfo ( RoutingInfo &  inInfo, RoutingInfo &  outInfo  )

pure virtual

Retrieves routing information (to be implemented when more than one regular input or output bus exists).

The inInfo always refers to an input bus while the returned outInfo must refer to an output bus!

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual tresult activateBus ( MediaType  type, BusDirection  dir, int32  index, TBool  state  )

pure virtual

Called upon (de-)activating a bus in the host application.

The plug-in should only processed an activated bus, the host could provide less see AudioBusBuffers in the process call (see IAudioProcessor::process) if last busses are not activated. An already activated bus does not need to be reactivated after a IAudioProcessor::setBusArrangements call.

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual tresult setActive ( TBool  state )

pure virtual

Activates / deactivates the component.

Implemented in AudioEffect, and SingleComponentEffect.

virtual tresult setState ( IBStream *  state )

pure virtual

Sets complete state of component.

Implemented in AudioEffect.

virtual tresult getState ( IBStream *  state )

pure virtual

Retrieves complete state of component.

Implemented in AudioEffect.
