Ddmf Meta Plugin

[Fe Kittner]

Metapluginis 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. 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).

My workflow is as follows: Launch DAW, load Metaplugin (instrument or effect), drag the plugins I need into an area of the interface, drag cables between them to make the desired connections (audio and midi), adjust wet/dry ratio/level, and create music.

If there is such thing as a man's man, then Metaplugin is a plugin's plugin! Connecting plugins is effortless with Metaplugin, and the possibilities are only limited by the user's own collection and creativity! It is visual, customizable, and lets you focus on creating music instead of being lost in a tangled web of virtual cable madness. I highly recommend Metaplugin to any eMusician, mixer, producer, sound designer, DJ, etc., who uses more than one plugin at a time. Tommy Zai gives Metaplugin several side-chained thumbs up. Thank you, DDMF, for creating such an innovative, time saving plugin.

I'm trying metaplugin in protools in order to load Au plugins that I have in another partition on wich I have Logic Pro 9. Unfortunately When I drag a logic plugin in metalplugin, it doesn't appear. Am i doing something wrong ?

Metaplugin allows you to have multiple MIDIs but does not allow you to choose the input channel of each MIDI or do anything else MIDI ... or am I missing something? If you double click on a MIDI block something comes up seemingly allowing to enter to information but it is locked. Again, am I missing something as there is no reference to MIDI anything in the documentation.

I am needing to host a certain plugin in VePro that has some of its audio outputs as mono. I can't seem to figure any way to create mono busses or mono channels of any kind to handle this plugin. Is there a way?

I do notice that if I use the additional audio outs from the plugin, I hit the + button of the stereo instrument channel..it adds an additional bus, but its stereo (even though the plugin itself has that audio out as mono). But the signal is evenly spread across both L and R channels. So VePro must be recognizing that its a mono output and propagating it automatically to both L and R...but I'm not entirely sure what the expected and intended behavior is of VePro7 when handling mono output channels from plugins..particular when the plugin itself is actually recognized as a stereo plugin...when not using the direct outs..its a stereo instrument. The plugin in question here is Addictive Drums 2. By default its stereo mixed output, but when I start using direct outputs, it will have some of the plugin outs as stereo and some as mono. Each kit piece is mono, but it has a few stereo mix busses of its own...so VePro sees a combination plugin with some outputs mono and some stereo..

If they are on a stereo plugin, I still can't properly process them as mono with additional plugins. Most plugins probably don't matter, but any plugin intended to go mono->Stereo, I guess would fundmentally not be available since VePro's mixer itself does not support mono channels to begin with..its all stereo channels that just happens to have both L and R carrying the duplicated audio. do I have that right?

I notice that at least the builtin FX plugins of VePro has mono-to-mono mode, which I assume is processing L and R channels independently as two mono channels in some way? Well anyway in that case if I just use the L side of each channel, back in my DAW I can receive the L side on a mono channel and go from there. its just the mixing within VePro and how FX plugins will process it that I am wondering about the most.

I do notice that VePro turns a mono audio channel from a plugin into a stereo channel with the same audio on both L and R. it is implicitly splitting the signal...I'm not sure if it is reducing some DB in order to compensate for duplicated audio or not?? That is when I host Addictive Drums 2 directly in VePro.

In my particular situation, however, its a bit more complicated because I have to put the instrument inside of DDMF meta plugin in order to do midi processing. DDMF doesn't have mono outputs, only stereo, so basically what comes into VePro are 10 audio stereo outputs with only signal on the L side.
